The  following  pages  have  been  prepared  under  the 
authority  of  Resolve  chapter  13  of  the  year  one  thousand 
eight  hundred  and  sixty,  entitled  a  "  Resolve  to  authorize 
the  preparation  of  statistics  exhibiting  the  progress  of 
the  Commonwealth  ;  " — of  which  the  following  is  a  copy  : 

"  Resolved,  That  tlie  secretary  of  the  Commonwealth  be  authorized  to 
prepare  an  abstract  of  the  returns  of  the  national  census  to  be  made  the 
present  year,  in  printed  form,  similar  to  the  abstract  of  the  census  of  the 
Commonwealth,  taken  in  the  year  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and  fifty- 
five." 

A  delay  of  several  months  beyond  the  time  specified 
for  depositing  a  copy  of  the  official  returns  in  this  de- 
partment, and  the  largely  increased  amount  of  labor 
expended  in  its  preparation,  has  necessarily  deferred  the 
publication  of  the  document  longer  than  was  at  fii'st 
expected.  It  is  believed,  however,  that  the  thorough  and 
comprehensive  manner  in  which  the  abstract  has  been 
prepared,  will  amply  compensate  for  the  comparative 
delay.

Although  the  returns  will  compare  very  favorably  with 
those  of  preceding  censuses,  in  pomt  of  general  correct- 
ness, yet  theii-  many  needless  imperfections  and  irregu- 
larities force  the  conclusion  that  sufficient  attention  is  not 
yet  given  to  the  qualifications  of  those  selected  as  enume- 
rators. It  is  true,  that  most  of  these  imperfections  and 
discrepancies,  are  confined  to  minor  matters  ;  but  as  a 
large  share  of  the  value  of  such  returns  depends  upon 
the  correctness  and  completeness  of  the  details,  it  is  im- 
portant that  persons  selected  for  this  responsible  duty 
should  possess  special  qualifications  for  such  labors.  In 
view,  however,  of  the  increasing  interest  m  the  subject 
of  statistics,  it  may  reasonably  be  expected  that  each 
succeeding  census  will  be  taken  with  greater  care  and 
precision  than  its  predecessor. 

An  examination  of  the  following  tables,  and  the  gen- 
eral remarks  which  accompany  them,  will  show  that 
during  the  last  decade  the  population  of  the  Common- 
wealth has  exhibited  a  uniform  and  steady  advance,  and 
that  in  this  respect  it  continues  to  hold  a  prominent  and 
honorable  position  among  its  sister  States. 

The  table  giving  the  name  of  each  cit}-  and  toAvn  in 
the  Commonwealth,  with  the  dates  of  their  incorpora- 
tion,— and  also  noting  changes  in  theu*  several  boundary 
lines, — has  been  prepared,  with  much  care  and  labor, 
principally  from  official  documents  in  this  department, 
and  will  undoubtedly  prove  of  very  general  convenience 
and  utility.  Such  a  compilation  has  long  been  needed, 
as  an  aid  to  the  many  persons  engaged  in  local  historical 
investigations,  and  others,  and  its  publication  will  relieve 
this  department  from  no  small  amount  of  labor.

The  publication,  for  the  first  time  in  an  official  form, 
of  the  first  regular  census  of  Massachusetts, — that  of 
1764-5, — will,  it  is  believed,  give  additional  interest  and 
value  to  the  document,  as  a  work  for  reference. 

Through  the  kindness  of  Hon.  J.  C.  G.  Kennedy, 
Superintendent  of  the  United  States  Census,  the  first  five 
tables  of  the  abstract  were  copied  in  the  census  office, 
Washington,  upon  blanks  prepared  in  this  department, 
and  forwarded  for  that  purpose.  For  this,  and  other 
courtesies  to  the  Commonwealth,  the  Superintendent  is 
entitled  to  our  warmest  thank's. 

With  the  above  exception,  the  abstracts,  and  the  gen- 
eral remarks  which  accompany  them,  have  been  compiled 
in  this  office,  by  Geo.  Wingate  Chase,  to  whom  was 
assigned  the  labor  of  their  preparation  and  publication, 

and  whose  experience  and  fidelity  in  similar  labors 
authorize  me  to  submit  the  work  to  the  public  in  full 
confidence  that  it  will  prove  both  useful  and  accept- 
able. 

OLIVER  AVARNER, 

Secretary  of  the  Commonwealth.

GENERAL  REMARKS 


ON  THE 


CENSUS  or  MASSACHUSETTS. 


I860. 


INTRODUCTOEY. 


Before  proceeding  to  a  consideration  of  the  Census  of  Massa- 
chusetts, as  presented  in  the  preceding  tables,  it  will  not  be 
irrelevant  to  the  general  subject  to  notice  the  changes  which 
have  been  made  from  time  to  time  in  the  territorial  limits  of 
the  cities  and  towns  of  the  Commonwealth. 

These  changes  have  been  of  almost  annual  occurrence  since 
the  establishment  of  the  Colony,  but  no  complete  list  or  table 
of  them  has  ever  been  published  by  the  Commonwealth,  though 
several  documents  have  noted  the  changes  which  have  taken 
place  during  certain  limited  periods.  Thus,  the  Abstract  of 
the  Census  of  1855,  contains  the  principal  changes  in  the 
territorial  limits  of  cities  and  towns  between  1850  and  1855  ; 
and  the  published  documents  of  the  Valuation  Committee  of 
1860,  note  the  changes  which  occurred  between  1850  and  1860. 

For  future  reference,  and  that  persons  engaged  in  statistical 
investigations  relating  to  the  population  of  the  State,  may  be 
advised  of  the  numerous  changes  which  have  taken  place,  and 
for  the  purpose  of  furnishing  proper  data  for  deducing  calcula- 
tions, and  making  comparisons  between  the  several  censuses, 
the  following  table  has  been  prepared.  It  gives  the  name  of 
each  city  and  town  in  the  Commonwealth,  the  date  of  incorpo- 
ration,— as  far  as  the  same  distinctly  appears  from  the  records, 
— many  of  the  original,  or  Indian  names  of  places  previous  to 
incorporation,  and  also  the  changes  in  the  boundary  lines.

European  Census  Systems. — The  following  brief  account  of  the 
census  systems  of  the  principal  European  nations ;  the  census 
system  of  the  United  States;  and  the  several  censuses  of  Mas- 
sachusetts,— has  been  prepared  as  a  fitting  introductory  to  the 
general  remarks  which  follow  upon  the  census  of  Massachusetts, 
for  1860.  The  account,  it  is  believed,  will  not  only  be  found  of 
interest  in  itself,  but  especially  valuable  as  affording  a  ready 
means    for    comparing  the    census  system  of   our  own  country 


238  CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS,  1860. 

with  those  of  Europe.  It  is  worthy  of  remark,  and  may  be 
mentioned  with  some  degree  of  pride,  that  to  the  United  States 
belongs  the  honor  of  inaugurating  a  compreliensive  and  precise 
national  decennial  census  system.  Enumerations  of  popula- 
tion have  taken  place,  at  irregular  periods,  from  early  times, 
but  the  United  States  Census  of  1790  was  the  first  attempt  at 
a  comprehensive  and  regular  system. 

The  Constituent  Assembly  of  France,  following  the  American 
example,  in  1791  appointed  a  committee  for  ascertaining  the 
number  of  inhabitants  of  that  country.  A  census  was  also 
taken  in  1801,  1806,  1821,  and  every  five  years  since.  Each 
ministry  publishes  its  own  statistics,  though  some  have  special 
bureaus.  Statistical  commissions  are  established  in  every 
district,  which  assist  in  filling  up  the  blanks,  and  have  charge 
of  the  reports  on  population,  &c.  The  system  is,  however, 
much  less  complete  than  that  of  the  United  States. 

The  first  regular  census  of  Great  Britain  was  taken  in  1801, 
since  which  time  decennial  censuses  have  been  regularly  taken. 
The  early  population  of  England  was  in  much  dispute  until 
1836,  when  Mr.  Rickman,  (Clerk  of  the  House  of  Commons, 
and  who  superintended  tbe  censuses  of  1801  to  1831,  inclusive,) 
addressed  a  circular  to  tlie  clergy,  requesting  an  examination 
of  the  parish  registers  of  births,  marriages,  and  deaths.  He 
obtained  returns  in  some  cases  as  far  back  as  1570.  Assuming 
these  to  bear  the  same  relation  to  the  total  population  before  a 
regular  census  was  taken,  that  they  did  after,  he  estimated  the 
population  of  England  and  Wales  at  several  preceding  periods. 
The  first  census  of  Great  Britain  included  the  number  of  persons, 
distinguishing  the  males  and  females,  but  not  their  ages  ;  the 
number  of  houses,  and  families  ;  and  the  occupations, — as  in 
agriculture,  trade,  manufactures,  &c.  Each  succeeding  census 
has  been  taken  with  more  completeness  and  precision  of  detail 
than  any  which  preceded  it,  until  that  of  1851,  which  is  well 
worthy  of  imitation,  in  several  important  particulars. 

A  peculiar  feature  of  the  British  census  system, — and  which 
has  much  to  commend  it  to  general  adoption, — consists  in  so 
multiplying  the  enumeration  districts  that  the  entire  census  is 
taken  in  a  single  day.  Under  the  registrar-general  of  births, 
marriages,  and  deaths, — an  office  which  has  long  been  in 
existence  in  England  and  Wales, —  are  several  thousand  local 


GENERAL  REMARKS.  239 

registrars.  The  districts  of  the  latter  are  subdivided  into 
smaller  enumeration  districts,  of  convenient  size  to  be  canvassed 
by  one  enumerator  in  a  single  day.  In  course  of  the  week 
immediately  preceding  the  date  for  taking  the  census,  a  care- 
fully prepared  schedule  is  left  with  every  occupier  of  a  house  or 
tenement.  On  the  day  specified,  the  enumerators  visit  every 
dwelling-liouse  in  Great  Britain,  to  collect  the  schedules.  If 
these  have  been  filled  up  by  the  householder,  the  enumerator 
merely  examines  them  to  see  that  the  entries  are  properly 
made,  and  makes  his  endorsement.  If,  from  inability  to  write, 
or  other  cause,  a  schedule  is  returned  to  him  blank,  the 
enumerator  is  required  to  fill  it  up  himself,  from  verbal  infor- 
mation given  in  answer  to  his  inquiries.  Eiglit  days  is  then 
allowed  the  enumerator  for  preparing  a  summary  and  transcript 
of  his  schedules,  and  forwarding  the  whole  to  the  local  registrar. 
The  latter  is  allowed  two  weeks  for  examination  and  revision, 
when  the  returns  are  sent  to  the  census  office  in  London.  The 
enumeration  of  persons  on  board  of  vessels,  in  port  or  at  sea, 
is  effected  by  the  officers  of  the  customs,  the  Admiralty,  and 
the  registrar  of  merchant  seamen.  In  Scotland,  there  being 
no  regristration  system,  the  census  is  taken  by  sheriffs  of 
counties,  magistrates  of  burghs,  and  schoolmasters.  The 
census  returns  of  1851,  including  about  4,300,000  distinct 
returns,  and  nearly  39,000  enumeration  books,  was  so  promptly 
forwarded,  that  in  ten  weeks  from  the  night  of  the  census  a 
rough  statement  of  the  total  population  and  number  of  houses 
was  transmitted  to  the  Secretary  of  State,  and  at  once  made 
public.  A  final  revision  then  took  place  in  the  census  office, 
and  the  work  was  afterward  published  in  detail.  The  original 
returns  occupied  upward  of  1,250,000  pages  of  the  enumerators' 
books,  contained  more  than  20,000,000  entries,  and  employed 
38,740  persons  as  enumerators. 

In  Russia,  there  is  a  system  of  registration  of  births,  mar- 
riages, and  deaths,  and  an  enumeration  of  the  population  is 
occasionally  ordered.  In  Austria,  there  is  a  system  of  regis- 
tration, and  also  a  statistical  bureau.  The  total  population  is 
computed  annually.  In  Sardinia,  a  statistical  commission  has 
existed  since  1820,  which  secure  very  complete  returns.  In 
Spain,  a  census  of  the  population  is  rarely  taken  ;  though  there 
are  frequent  statistical  reports  in  relation  to  Cuba.    In  Portugal, 


240  CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS,  18G0. 

a  census  is  taken  very  irregularly.  In  Sweden,  returns  of  popu- 
lation are  made  by  the  clergy,  which  are  digested  by  a  board 
of  table  commission  ;  and  a  census  is  also  taken  by  the  civil 
officers  for  purposes  of  taxation.  In  Denmark,  a  statistical 
central  commission  exists,  which  frequently  publishes  volumes 
of  statistics.  In  Norway,  a  decennial  census  is  taken  by  the 
magistrates  in  towns,  and  the  rectors  of  parishes  in  the  country. 
The  inquiries  extend  to  productions,  occupations,  deaf  and 
dumb,  etc.  In  Bavaria  and  Saxony,  there  are  statistical  bureaus. 
In  Austria,  a  statistical  bureau  was  established  in  1828,  which 
publish  yearly  statistics.  In  Holland,  a  statistical  bureau  was 
established  in  1826,  which  published  several  volumes.  A  census 
Avas  published  in  1840.  We  believe  there  is  now  no  general 
bureau.  In  Wurtemburg,  a  bureau  has  published  upward  of 
thirty  volumes.  In  Switzerland,  there  has  been  a  system  of 
detailed  reports  since  1880.  In  Prussia,  a  minute  census  is 
taken  every  three  years.  It  includes  age,  sex,  faith,  occupa- 
tion, deaf  and  dumb,  education,  schools,  churches,  asylums, 
dwellings,  families,  &c.  A  statistical  bureau  was  established  in 
1805,  which,  in  addition  to  an  occasional  volume,  publishes  a 
semi-monthly  statistical  journal.  In  Belgium,  the  town  and 
country  population  are  distinguished,  and  also  the  sex,  age, 
married,  widowed,  occupation,  faith,  language,  instruction,  &c. 
In  Ireland,  an  incomplete  census  was  taken  in  1813,  but  subse- 
quent ones  have  been  more  successful.  In  the  British  Colonies, 
the  census  has  been — at  least  until  quite  recently — very  irregu- 
larly provided  for. 

United  States  Census  System. — Under  the  provisions  of  the 
Constitution, — requiring  an  enumeration  of  the  population  to 
be  made  within  three  years  after  the  first  meeting  of  Congress, 
and  within  every  subsequent  term  of  ten  years, — a  general 
census  of  the  United  States  has  been  taken  every  tenth  year, 
beginning  in  1790.  Tiie  census  of  1790  included  but  five  par- 
ticulars— the  white  males  over  and  under  sixteen  years  of  age, 
the  white  females,  the  slaves,  and  all  other  free  persons, 
"  except  Indians,  not  taxed."  The  census  of  1800  retained 
the  same  divisions  of  class,  and  distinguished  the  white  males 
and  females  into  ages,  as  follows :  under  10,  between  10  and 
16,  16  and  26,  26  and  45,  and  45  and  upward.     The  census 


GENERAL  REMARKS.  241 

of  1810  was  the  same  as  that  of  1800,  with  the  addition  of  a 
schedule  of  mainifactiires,  showing  the  capital,  labor,  and 
material  used  in  manufactures,  and  the  kind  and  value  of  the 
product.  The  census  of  1820  divided  the  whites  as  the  second 
had  done,  but  added  a  column  for  the  white  males  between  16 
and  18,  and  another  for  foreigners  not  naturalized,  with  blanks 
for  those  of  the  population  employed  in  agriculture,  in  com- 
merce, or  in  manufactures.  This  census  regarded  also,  for  the 
first  time,  the  ages  of  the  free  colored  and  slaves,  male  and 
female ;  under  14,  between  14  and  26,  between  26  and  45,  and 
45  and  upward.  An  improved  schedule  of  manufactures  was 
also  appended.  The  census  of  1830  divided  the  white  males 
and  females  into  ages  quinquennially  until  20,  and  decennially 
afterward  to  100  ;  divided  the  colored,  and  slaves,  male  and 
female,  into  those  under  10,  between  10  and  24,  24  and  36, 
36  and  55,  55  and  100,  100  and  upward ;  added  columns,  for 
the  first  time,  of  white  and  colored  deaf  and  dumb,  under  14 
years  of  age,  between  14  and  25,  25  and  upward,  and  for  the 
blind  in  the  aggregate;  also  a  column  for  aliens  not  naturalized. 
No  returns  of  manufactures  were  included.  The  census  of 
1840  followed  the  divisions  of  age,  sex,  and  color,  in  the  census 
of  1830,  and  the  divisions  for  the  deaf,  dumb,  and  blind,  but 
added  columns  for  the  msane  and  idiotic,  at  public  and  private 
charge,  the  universities  and  colleges,  academies  and  schools, 
students  and  scholars,  scholars  at  public  charge,  and  adult 
whites  who  cannot  read  and  write.  It  also  included  more  full 
particulars  of  industry  than  had  been  previously  obtained. 
The  census  of  1850  differed  materially  from  any  that  had 
preceded  it.  Instead  of  one  or  two  schedules,  it  embraced  six. 
The  first  schedule  related  to  the  Free  Inhabitants,  embracing 
the  number  of  dwellings  and  families ;  the  name  and  surname 
of  every  free  person  in  the  Union,  with  their  sex,  and  exact 
age,  from  one  month  upward  ;  their  color,  as  white,  black,  or 
mulatto  ;  their  nativity,  as  born  in  the  State  or  in  some  other 
State  or  country,  at  home  or  abroad;  their  condition,  as  married 
or  single  ;  their  education,  as  attending  school  in  the  year,  or 
over  20  years  of  age,  and  unable  to  read  or  write  ;  and  also 
noting  the  deaf  and  dumb,  blind,  insane,  idiotic,  paupers,  con- 
victs, and  the  owners  of  real  estate.  The  second  schedule, 
Slaves,  included  the  names  of  slave-holders,  the  sex,  color,  and 

31 


242  CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS,  1860. 

specific  age  of  tlie  slave,  the  fugitive,  and  manumitted,  the  deaf 
and  dumb,  blind,  insane,  and  idiotic.  The  third,  Mortality, 
gave  the  name,  age,  sex,  color,  and  social  condition,  of  sucli 
persons  as  had  died  within  the  previous  year  ;  tlieir  place  of 
birth,  occupation,  duration  of  sickness,  date  and  cause  of  death. 
Tlie  fourth,  Agriculture,  embraced  the  name  of  every  farmer 
or  planter,  with  details  of  land  owned  and  cultivated,  stock, 
and  crops  raised  the  preceding  year.  The  fifth.  Manufacturing 
Induslrjj,  included  the  name  and  location  of  every  person  or 
establishment  producing  over  $500  annually ;  the  quantity, 
kind,  and  value  of  raw  material  used  ;  the  motive  power,  and 
labor  employed,  male  and  female,  and  the  rate  and  amount  of" 
wages;  and  the  kind,  quantity,  and  value  of  the  productions; — 
leaving  the  marshals  to  enter  them  in  detail.  Tlie  sixth.  Social 
Statistics,  included  real  and  personal  estate  in  each  county  and 
town;  the  kinds  and  amount  of  taxes  levied;  the  schools, 
libraries,  and  newspapers  ;  and  the  religious,  criminal,  pauper, 
and  wages  statistics. 

The  Eighth  United  States  Census,  I860,— from  which  this 
volume  is  compiled, — differed  but  little  from  the  plan  adopted 
for  that  of  1850.  Schedule  one.  Free  Inhabitants,  included  the 
dwelling-houses,  and  families,  numbered  in  tlie  order  of  visita- 
tion ;  name  of  every  person,  with  their  age,  sex,  color;  the 
profession,  trade,  or  occupation,  of  each  male  person  over  15 
years  of  age  ;  value  of  their  real  and  personal  estate  ;  place  of 
birth  ;  married  within  the  year ;  attended  school  within  the

The  Census  enumerations  of  1790  to  1820,  inclusive,  have 
reference  to  the  1st  day  of  August ;  and  those  of  1830  to  1860, 
inclusive,  to  the  1st  day  of  June.  The  duty  of  taking  the 
Census  has  always  been  entrusted  to  the  Marshals  of  the  United 
States,  and  to  assistants  appointed  under  them.  The  first 
Census  was  taken  under  authority  of  the  President ;  the  others, 
to  the  sixth  inclusive,  under  the  Secretary  of  State  ;  and  tlie 
seventli  and  eighth,  under  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior. 

A  large   share   of   the   improvements   introduced    into   the 


244  CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS,  1860. 

scliedules  and  instructions  for  tlie  Census  of  1850,  should  be 
credited  to  the  late  Lemuel  Shattuck,  of  Boston.  Strong 
objections  had  been  made  to  the  searching  industrial  investiga- 
tions introduced  into  the  schedules  in  1840,  and  several  coun-  , 
ties  in  Virginia,  Georgia,  Alabama,  and  Louisiana,  refused 
peremptorily  to  answer  them.  Some  of  the  leading  journals 
declared  "  such  petty  investigations  "  to  be  unworthy  of  the 
dignity  and  high  functions  of  the  Federal  Government.  When, 
ill  1848,  the  sulject  of  taking  the  Census  of  1850  began  to  be 
agitated  in  Congress,  it  was  proposed  to  revive  the  schedules  of 
1840,  omitting  the  minute  inquiries  to  which  objections  had 
been  made.  Strong  protests  against  such  a  course,  were  made 
by  leading  men,  both  in  and  out  of  Congress,  and  the  result 
was,  that  an  Act  was  passed  establishing  a  Census  Board,  to 
examine  and  report  upon  the  particulars  which  should  properly 
be  embraced.  Tlie  Census  Board  consisted  of  the  Secretary  of 
State,  Postmaster-General  and  Attorney-General.  Mr.  Shattuck, 
who  had  presented  to  the  Board  a  plan  for  organizing  National, 
State,  and  District  Statistical  Bureaus,  to  "  have  the  whole 
management  of  planning  and  carrying  into  execution  all  mat- 
ters relating  to  the  Census,"  was  invited  to  visit  Washington 
near  the  close  of  the  year  1849,  and  gave  the  benefit  of  his 
large  experience  and  statistical  knowledge  in  the  preparation  of 
the  plan  afterward  adopted.  The  general  Act  for  taking  the 
Census,  was  passed  substantially  as  it  was  drawn  up  by  him, 
except  as  to  the  rate  of  compensation,  and  the  ratio  of  repre- 
sentation. The  instructions  to  marshals,  prepared  by  him,  were 
also  adopted,  with  but  few  modifications.  The  feature  of 
recording  the  name  and  description  of  every  person  enumerated, 
was  proposed  by  him,  and  was  first  adopted  in  tlie  Boston  Cen- 
sus of  1845.  Mr.  Shattuck  also  drew  up  the  Mortality  Sched- 
ule, by  request,  though  against  his  own  advice  ;  and  also  fur- 
nished the  schedule  of  Social  Statistics,  and  in  part  tliat  of 
Slaves.*  His  objections  to  a  Mortality  Schedule  were,  to  quote 
his  own  language,  as  follows  : — 

"  We  are  convinced,  after  repeated  attempts,  that  it  is  impos- 
sible to  obtain  accurate  accounts  of  past,  unrecorded  events, 
concerning  either  the  living  or  the  dead.     Hitherto,  every  trial

to  obtain  the  luimber  of  births,  marriages,  and  deaths,  a  year 
or  more  after  they  happened,  has  been  a  failure.  This  convic- 
tion has  been  expressed  in  relation  to  the  National  Census  this 
year.  A  strong  desire,  however,  existed  in  the  Census  Board, 
that  measures  should  be  provided  for  obtaining  the  information  ; 
and  a  separate  schedule  in  relation  to  deaths  was  prepared,  at 
their  request,  for  the  purpose.

Census  Systems  of  the  several  States  of  the  Union. — In 
Alabama,  there  is  a  census  every  six  years.  In  Arkansas, 
there  is  a  census  every  four  years,  embracing  population  divided 
into  sex  and  certain  ages  ;  acres  in  cotton  and  grain,  and  pro- 
duction of  cotton,  wheat,  corn,  and  oats.  In  Connecticut,  there 
is  no  regular  census.  In  California,  a  State  Census  is  taken 
every  three  years,  with  many  particulars.  In  Florida,  a  census 
is  taken  every  ten  years,  by  assessors  and  collectors  of  counties, 
including  all  classes  of  population.  In  Georgia,  there  is  a 
census  every  seven  years,  embracing  white  males  between  six 
and  sixteen,  females  six  and  fifteen,  total  fnale  and  female, 
total  colored  and  slave,  families,  deaf,  dumb,  blind,  lunatics, 
&c.  The  census  is  taken  by  persons  appointed  by  the  county 
courts.  In  Iowa,  a  census  every  two  years  is  provided  for  by 
the  constitution.  It  is  taken  by  township  assessors,  and 
embraces  males  and  females,  voters,  militia,  foreigners  not  nat- 
uralized, deaf,  dumb,  blind,  etc.  In  Illinois,  there  is  a  census 
every  ten  years,  taken  by  commissioners  appointed  by  the  county 
courts.  In  Indiana,  a  census  is  taken  every  six  years,  by  the 
assessors  of  towns.  In  Kentuckij,  there  is  no  regular  census. 
In  Louisiana,  there  is  a  bureau  of  statistics,  and  a  census  is 
regularly  taken.  In  Maryland,  there  is  no  stated  time  for  a 
census  ;  and  the  same  is  also  true  of  Maine.  In  Massachusetts, 
a  minute  State  Census  is  taken  every  ten  years,  commencing  in 
1855.  The  present  system  is  very  similar  to  that  of  the  United 
States  Census  of  1850,  as  will  more  fully  appear  in  another 
place.  In  Michigan,  a  census  is  taken  every  ten  years,  by 
marshals,  appointed  by  the  executive,  in  each  county.  In 
Missouri,  a  census  is  taken  every  four  years,  by  the  sheriffs  of 
counties.     In  Mississippi,  a  census  has  generally  been  taken 

*  Report  of  Sanitary  Commission  of  Massachusetts,  1850. 


246  CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS,  18G0. 

every  six  or  eight  years.  It  is  taken  by  the  assessors  of  coun- 
ties, and  includes  white  males  and  females,  number  of  taxable 
slaves,  &c.  In  Minnesota,  there  is  a  bureau  of  statistics,  and 
special  attention  is  given  to  the  collection  and  publication  of 
facts  illustrating  the  industrial  resources  and  development  of 
the  State.  In  JVevj  Hampshire,  there  has  been  no  regular 
State  Census  since  1783.  In  New  Jersey,  there  is  no  census. 
In  Nevj  York,  a  census  is  taken  every  ten  years,  by  a  marshal 
in  each  election  district.  The  expenses  are  met  by  the  counties. 
The  blanks  embrace  more  than  one  hundred  particulars.  It  is 
probably  the  most  complete  census  taken  by  any  State.  In 
North  Carolina,  no  census  is  taken.  In  Oliio,  there  is  a  census 
every  fourth  year.  In  Pennsylvania,  no  census  has  ever  been 
authorized ;  and  the  same  is  also  true  of  Rhode  Is/and.  In 
South  Carolina,  a  census  is  taken  every  ten  years.  Only  the 
number  of  white  inhabitants  and  tlic  deaf  and  dumb  are 
included.  In  Texas,  a  census  every  eight  years  is  provided  for 
by  the  constitution.  It  is  taken  by  the  regular  assessors  and 
collectors  of  taxes.  In  Tennessee,  a  census  of  qualified  voters 
is  taken  decennially,  by  commissioners  elected  for  each  county. 
In  Virginia,  tlie  constitution  provides  for  a  census  every  fifth 
year  after  the  national  census.  In  Vermont,  no  regular  census 
is  provided  for.  A  partial  census  was  taken  in  1771.  In  Wis- 
consin, a  census  is  taken  every  ten  years  from  and  after  1855. 

City  Censuses. — In  addition  to  the  State  and  Federal  Cen- 
suses, most  of  tlie  lai'ger  cities  in  the  United  States  obtain 
annual  or  periodical  statistics  of  their  population  and  wealth. 
Those  published  by  the  cities  of  Boston  and  New  York  are 
especially  minute  and  valuable.  In  Boston,  the  statistical 
reports  are  frequent  and  thorough.  The  one  issued  from  the 
department  of  the  city  registrar  of  births,  marriages,  and  deaths, 
is  well  worthy  of  imitation.  In  Nevj  York,  there  is  a  statistical 
bureau,  and  comprehensive  reports  upon  population,  health, 
industry,  education,  &c.,  are  issued. 

The  following  table  exhibits  the  total  population  of  the  sev- 
eral States,  in  each  decennial  period,  from  1790  to  1860, 
inclusive,  according  to  the  official  United  States  Censuses ;  and 
also  the  date  of  admission  of  each  State  into  the  Union.

250  CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS,  1860. 

Censuses  of  Massachusetts. — As  early  as  October  27,  1647, 
the  General  Court  ordered  that  the  commissioner  and  select- 
men of  each  town  "  shall  make  a  list  of  all  males  from  sixteen 
years  old  and  upward."  These  lists  were  to  be  made  annually, 
and  were  devised  as  "  a  more  equal  and  ready  way  of  raising 
moneys  for  defraying  public  charges."  May  23,  1655,  it  was 
"  Ordered,  the  Secretary  shall  issue  out  warrants  to  the  con- 
stables of  the  several  towns  within  this  jurisdiction,  to  send 
him  a  true  list  of  all  the  males,  within  tbeir  respective  towns, 
from  sixteen  years  of  age  to  sixty,  before  the  first  of  August 
next."  Tbe  object  of  the  measure  was  to  supply  the  govern- 
ment of  the  United  Colonies  with  data,  so  as  to  apportion  the 
share  of  its  expense,  payable  by  Massachusetts.*  This  method 
of  estimating  polls  in  our  State  taxes,  has  been  continued  in 
every  similar  assessment  since. 

Census  of  1765. — The  first  movement  for  a  general  Census 
of  Massachusetts,  was  begun  in  1763.  On  the  2d  of  June,  of 
that  year.  Governor  Bernard  communicated  a  message  to  the 
General  Court  to  the  following  effect : — 


'O 


"  I  am  directed  by  the  Lords  of  Trade,  to  take  a  particular  account 
of  the  number  of  the  people  of  this  Province,  with  all  proper  distinc- 
tions thereof.  I  am  desirous  to  have  this  done  with  the  utmost  exact- 
ness, as  such  information  will  be  of  great  use  to  the  Government  of 
this  Province  as  well  as  of  his  Majesty's  ministers.  I  therefore  propose 
to  have  the  returns  of  the  several  towns  made  upon  oath,  according  to  a 
form  issued  for  this  purpose.  And  as  I  apprehend  these  orders  will  be 
more  effectual,  if  they  are  issued  under  the  authority  of  the  whole 
legislature,  I  recommend  this  affair  to  your  consideration." 

After  considerable  delay,  an  Order  was  passed,  February  2, 
1764,  directing  the  selectmen  of  each  town  and  district  to 
"  take  an  exact  account  of  the  number  of   dwelling-houses, 

*  In  the  contract  agreed  on,  in  1643,  by  the  United  Colonies  of  New  England, 
it  was  provided  that  the  charges  of  all  just  wars  should  be  borne  by  the  several 
Colonies  in  proportion  to  the  "  number  of  all  the  males  in  eury  Plantacon,  or 
any  way  belonging  to  or  under  their  seuerall  jurisdiccons,  of  what  quallyty  or 
condicou  soeuer  they  bee,  from  sixteenc  yeares  old  to  threescore,  being  inhab- 
itants therein."

families,  and  people,  in  their  respective  towns  and  districts, 
including  as  well  Indians  civilized,  negroes  and  mulattos,  as 
•white  people,  and  females  as  well  as  males,  and  distinguishing 
them  in  this  form,  namely  : —

'  ( Jj  emales, 

The  returns  were  ordered  to  be  made  by  the  last  day  of  the 
following  December,  but  they  were  not,  however,  completed 
until  the  latter  part  of  May,  1765.  This  was  the  first  attempted 
complete  census  of  the  population  of  Massachusetts,  preceding, 
by  a  little  more  than  twenty-five  years,  the  first  United  States 
Census. 

In  this  census  are  mentioned  184  towns  within  the  present 
limits  of  Massachusetts,  two  of  which — Dracut  and  Hanover — 
made  no  returns.  Two  other  towns — Paxtoii  and  Sharon — 
having  been  incorporated  in  1765,  are  presumed  to  have  been 
included  in  Rutland  and  Stoughton,  from  which  towns  they 
were  respectively  set  off.  Besides  these  186  towns,  there  were 
14  other  towns,  or  districts,  incorporated  before  the  close  of  the 
year  1765,  which  seem  not  to  have  been  included  in  this  census. 
By  substituting  for  the  population  of  these  16  towns,  whose 
returns  are  not  included  in  the  census  of  1765,  their  population 
as  contained  in  the  United  States  Census  of  1790, — considering 
their  increase  during  the  intervening  period  as  an  offset  to  the 
population  of  the  incorporated  settlements  not  required  to  be 
returned  in  the  census  of  1765, — we  shall  have  a  very  near 
approximation  to  the  true  number  in  1765.  Accordingly,  we 
estimate  the  number  of  inhabitants  in  Massachusetts  in  1765,  at 
244,149,  exclusive  of  1,569  Indians. 

The  original  returns  of  this  census  are  not  now  to  be  found 
in  the  archives  of  the  Commonwealth,  and  were  never  officially 


252  CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS,  1860. 

published.  In  1822,  Judge  Samuel  Dana  sent  a  manuscript  to 
the  editor  of  the  "  Columbian  Centinel,"  Boston,  with  a  note  of 
the  following  tenor  : — 

"  Mr.  Russell, — Among  the  papers  of  a  deceased  friend,  which  lately 
came  into  my  hands,  I  found  a  Census,  purporting  to  have  been  taken 
in  the  years  17G4-5.  *  *  *  *  _^s  dijg  document  carries  with  it 
marks  of  accuracy,  and  has  only  three  or  four  defects,  I  have  sent  it  to 
you  for  publication  entire,  in  order  to  multiply  the  number  of  copies,  and 
gratify  the  curious.  After  which  I  wish,  through  you,  to  present  the 
original  to  the  Antiquarian  Society,  that  it  may  be  deposited  in  their 
archives." 

The  manuscript  was  published  in  the  "  Centinel"  of  August  17, 
1822,  from  which  the  following  table  has  been  copied,  in  full, 
excepting  the  totals  of  the  respective  towns,  which  were  not 
computed  in  the  original  manuscript.  It  will  be  noticed  that 
in  this  table  negroes  and  Indians  are  not  distinguished  by  sex, 
though  the  act  providing  for  the  census  required  the  distinction. 
An  old  manuscript,  professing  to  give  the  totals  of  this  census, 
and  other  statistics,  does,  however,  make  the  distinction,  so  that 
we  may  safely  conclude  it  was  made  in  the  original  returns. 
According  to  the  last  named  manuscript,  the  number  of  negroes 
and  Indians  was  as  follows : — 


Male  Negroes,  .         .        .    2,998 

Female     "...        .        .    2,216 


Total,    ....    5,214 


Male  Indians,  ....       656 

Female    "        ....       827 


Total,   ....    1,493 


This,  it  will  be  seen,  gives  99  negroes,  and  76  Indians,  less 
than  the  number  returned  according  to  the  table  published  in 
the  "  Centinel.'  The  published  table  is,  without  doubt,  the  most 
reliable.

262  CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS,  1860. 

Census  of  1776. — On  the  26th  of  December,  1775,  Congress 
provided  that  "  the  proportion  or  quota  "  of  each  colony,  in  the 
bills  of  credit  to  be  redeemed,  should  "  be  determined  accord- 
ing to  the  number  of  inhabitants  of  all  ages,  including  negroes 
and  mulattoes,  in  each  colony,"  and  recommended  to  the  sev- 
eral colonies  to  take  measures  to  secure  such  an  enumeration. 
Agreeably  to  this  recommendation,  a  resolve, — providing  for 
such  an  enumeration  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  colony, — passed 
the  legislature  of  Massachusetts  on  the  16th  of  February,  1776. 
The  schedule  adopted  included  four  particulars,  as  follows  : — 

"  The  names  of  the  Heads  of  each  Family;  the  number  of 
White  People  in  each  Family ;  the  number  of  Negroes  and 
Mulattoes  in  each  Family ;  whole  number  in  each  Family." 

A  separate  schedule,  embracing  the  same  particulars,  was 
provided  for  the  unincorporated  places. 

In  a  communication  reported  to  the  legislature,  in  1782,  by 
a  committee,  reference  is  made  to  this  census,  as  follows : — 

"  A  very  accurate  account  of  the  number  of  souls  within 
this  Commonwealth,  was  taken  in  the  year  1776,  at  which  time 
the  whites  amounted  to  338,627." 

The  only  township  returns  of  this  census  known  at  the  pres- 
ent time,  are  contained  in  a  manuscript  already  alluded  to,  and 
which  is  considered  credible  authority.  It  gives  the  total 
number  of  whites  in  that  year,  as  333,418,  including  47,279 
belonging  to  the  Province  of  Maine ;  or  286,139  in  Massachu- 
setts alone.  By  adding  4,761  as  the  whole  number  of  blacks, — 
excluding  241  belonging  in  Maine, — we  have  290,900  as  the 
total  population  of  the  colony  in  1776. 

It  will  be  seen  that  the  total  number  of  whites  reported  in 
the  above-mentioned  communication,  is  5,254  viore  than  that 
given  in  the  manuscript, — from  which  the  following  table  has 
been  prenared : —

On  the  lltb  of  December,  1781,  the  United  States  Congress 
"  Resolved,  That  it  be  recommended  to  the  legislatures  of  the 
several  States,  to  cause  to  be  taken  and  transmitted  to  Congress, 
as  soon  as  practicable,  the  number  of  the  white  inhabitants 
thereof,  pursuant  to  the  ninth  article  of  the  confederation." 
This  being  communicated  to  the  legislature  of  Massachusetts, 
was  placed  in  the  hands  of  a  committee  for  consideration, 
who  subsequently  submitted  a  report,  of  which  the  following  is 
an  extract.     It  was  dated  February  20,  1782  : — 


"  Resolved,  That  His  Excellency  the  Governor  be  requested  to  write 
to  Congress  upon  the  subject,  and  the  following  estimate  to  be  enclosed  : 
A  very  accurate  account  of  the  number  of  souls  within  this  Common- 
wealth was  taken  in  the  year  1776,  at  which  time  the  whites  amounted 
to  338,627, — and  as  there  was  a  general  valuation  taken  of  all  the  polls, 
ratable  and  not  ratable,  whether  at  home  or  abroad,  in  1772,  1778, 
and  1781, — it  is  supposed  a  more  accurate  list  of  the  number  of  whites 
cannot  be  had  than  from  the  said  returns.  In  1772,  the  polls,  ratable 
and  not  ratable,  were  71,728;  in  1776,  75,300;  and  the  number  of 
whites  were  333,850.  In  1778,  the  polls,  ratable  and  not  ratable,  at 
home  and  abroad,  were  76,854;  multiplied  by  A\,  as  in  the  first  instance, 
make  the  white  inhabitants  345,843.  In  1781,  the  polls,  ratable  and 
not  ratable,  at  home  and  abroad,  amount  to  79,645,  which  make  the 
white  inhabitants,  upon  the  same  estimation,  to  be  348,402.     The  polls, 


GENERAL  REMARKS.  267 

ratable  and  not  ratable,  include  all  kinds  of  male  persons,  from  16  to 
100  years  of  age,  including  blacks,  whether  in  hospitals,  almshouses,  or 
however  decrepid  or  infirm." 

The  report  so  made  was  accepted  by  the  House,  but  not  by 
the  Senate,  and  between  the  two  the  matter  dropped. 

February  17,  1783,  Congress  resolved  "  that  the  legislature 
of  each  State  be  and  they  are  hereby  required  to  take  such 
measures  as  shall  appear  to  them  most  effectual  for  obtaining  a 
just  and  accurate  account  of  the  quantity  of  land  in  such  State, 
granted  to  or  surveyed  for  any  person,  the  number  of  buildings 
thereon,  distinguishing  dwelling-houses  from  other  buildings, 
and  the  number  of  its  inhabitants,  distinguishing  white  from 
black,"  &c.  In  answer  to  this  resolve,  an  Act  was  passed  by 
the  legislature  of  Massachusetts,  July  2,  1784,  requiring 
assessors  of  towns  to  furnish  the  Secretary  of  the  Common- 
wealth with  returns  of  these  particulars. 

The  General  Court,  in  a  letter  dated  February  14,  1786, 
observed  that  returns  of  the  people  had  been  made  to  the 
secretary's  office,  and  that  there  were  352,171  whites,  and  4,371 
blacks ;— total,  356,542. 

According  to  Dr.  Belknap,  the  population  of  Massachusetts, 
as  returned  by  the  census  of  1784,  was  as  follows :  Whites, 
353,133 ;  negroes  and  mulattoes,  4,377  ;  total,  357,510.  The 
number  of  polls  in  Massachusetts  in  1784  was  91,546,  including 
13,723  in  the  Province  of  Maine,  and  789  polls  maintained  by 
towns. 

In  1790,  the  National  Government  proceeded  to  take  a  census 
of  the  whole  country,  under  its  own  immediate  direction, 
agreeably  to  the  power  conferred  by  the  constitution,  as  already 
noticed. 

In  1836,  the  people  of  Massachusetts  adopted  an  amendment 
to  the  State  constitution,  which  based  the  election  of  repre- 
sentatives on  a  certain  proportion  of  ratable  polls,  and  pro- 
vided for  a  census  of  the  ratable  polls  to  be  taken  in  1837,  and 
every  tenth  year  thereafter. 

In  1840,  a  new  amendment  to  the  constitution  was  ratified 
by  the  people,  which  changed  the  basis  of  representation  from 
ratable  polls  to  total  population.     It  provided  that  "  A  census 


268  CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS,  1860. 

of  the  inhabitants  of  each  city  and  town,  on  the  first  day  of 
May,  shall  be  taken  and  returned  into  the  secretary's  office,  on 
or  before  the  last  day  of  June,  of  the  year  one  thousand  eight 
hundred  and  forty,  and  of  every  tenth  year  thereafter  ;  which 
census  shall  determine  the  apportionment  of  senators  and 
representatives  for  the  term  of  ten  years."  Under  this  provision 
of  the  constitution  censuses  were  taken  in  1840,  and  1850. 

These  censuses  were  not,  however,  complete  enumerations  of 
the  population  of  the  State,  as  the  legislative  Act  prescribing 
the  details  for  taking  them  distinctly  provided  that  "  Slate 
paupers  and  co7ivicts  in  the  State  prison  shall  not  be  numbered ; 
also,  the  inmates  of  the  several  hospitals,  jails  and  houses  of 
correction,  and  the  students  in  colleges,  academies  and  high 
schools  shall  not  be  numbered  in  the  census  of  towns  to  which 
they  do  not  belong." 

The  total  number  of  inhabitants  returned  by  the  State  census 
of  1840  was  719,364,  which  is  18,335  less  than  the  number 
returned  by  the  United  States  census  of  the  same  year.  The 
total  number  returned  by  the  State  enumeration  of  1850  was 
973,654,  which  is  20,860  less  than  the  number  returned  by  the 
United  States  census  of  that  year.  The  discrepancy  is  doubt- 
less principally  accounted  for  by  the  above  mentioned  exceptions 
in  the  State  enumeration.  A  part  of  it  may,  perhaps,  have 
been  occasioned  by  the  omissions  which  would  naturally  occur 
in  the  attempt  to  enumerate  students,  inmates  of  hospitals,  etc., 
in  the  manner  prescribed  by  the  Act  above  quoted.  The 
number  of  State  paupers  in  1840,  as  returned  by  the  overseers 
of  the  poor  in  the  several  cities  and  towns,  was  5,271,  which, 
after  adding  the  convicts  in  the  State  prison,  would  still  leave  a 
difference  of  about  13,000  to  be  accounted  for.  The  number 
of  State  paupers  in  1850  was  16,058,  and  of  inmates  of  the 
State  prison,  393.  These,  added  to  the  State  census  of  the 
same  year,  make  a  total  of  990,105,  or  within  4,409  of  the 
number  returned  by  the  United  States  census  of  that  year. 

In  this  connection,  it  appears  proper  to  mention  one  or  two 
facts  connected  with  the  National  census  returns  of  Massachu- 
setts for  1840,  which  will  account  for  a  large  part  of  the 
discrepancy  above  noted.  The  State  census  of  that  year  was 
taken  in  May,  and  the  National  census  in  June — one  month 
later.     By  the  former,  the  aggregate  population  of  the  city  of 


GENERAL  REMARKS.  269 

Boston  was  returned  as  84,401 ;  while  by  the  latter  it  was 
93,383  ; — a  difference  of  8,982.  In  this  case,  the  discrepancy 
cannot  be  charged  to  the  omission  of  State  paupers  and  convicts 
in  the  State  census,  as  the  enumeration  for  that  city  included 
paupers  and  all  others  not  required  by  law.  Subsequent  inves- 
tigations developed  the  fact  tliat  7,357  of  this  difference  occurred 
in  the  returns  of  Ward  2  alone.  The  enumerators  for  the 
National  census  counted  all  the  names  of  persons  which  appeared 
on  the  books  of  certain  sailor  boarding-houses,  for  the  previous 
three  years,  and  included  them  among  inhabitants  of  Boston, 
whether  they  had  been  there  one  or  more  days,  and  whether 
they  belonged  to  Boston,  or  elsewhere.  Two  families  contained, 
according  to  this  estimate,  over  1,000  each,  and  others  from 
100  to  600  each.  The  marines  on  board  the  ship  Columbus, 
then  lying  in  Boston  harbor,  numbering  583,  were  also  enumer- 
ated with  the  inhabitants  of  Boston.  This  mode  of  computation 
gave  Boston  10,921  persons,  as  employed  in  navigation,  while 
New  York,  with  far  more  extensive  commerce,  but  a  more 
correct  method  of  enumeration,  had  only  2,786  employed  in 
the  same  service.  The  errors  in  the  above  named  ward  alone 
would  reduce  the  total  difference  between  the  two  censuses  to 
less  than  6,000  ;  while  the  total  difference  for  the  city  would 
reduce  the  aggregate  to  a  little  more  than  4,000, — or  about  the 
same  as  in  1850. 

The  following  table  exhibits  the  total  population  of  each  city 
and  town  in  the  Commonwealth,  according  to  the  State  censuses 
of  1840  and  1850  :—

276  CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS,  1860. 

Census  of  1855.— On  21st  day  of  May,  1855,  an  Act  was 
passed  for  securing  a  census  of  the  inhabitants  of  each  city  and 
town  of  the  Commonwealth,  as  follows : — 

"  An  Act  to  secure  a  decennial  census. 
Be  it  enacted  hy  the   Senate  and  House  of  Representatives,  in  Geyieral 

Court  assembled,  and  by  the  authority  of  the  same,  as  follows: — 

Section  1.  A  census  of  the  inhabitants  of  each  city  and  town  of 
the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts  shall  be  taken  between  the  first 
day  of  June  and  the  first  day  of  October,  as  to  existing  facts  on  the  first 
day  of  June,  in  the  year  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and  fifty-five,  and 
also  in  the  year  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and  sixty-five,  and  in  each 
tenth  year  thereafter. 

Sect.  2.  This  enumeration  shall  distinguish  the  males  and  the 
females,  and  the  color  of  each ;  the  natives  and  the  foreigners,  and  of 
the  latter  the  country  in  which  they  were  bom ;  and  it  shall  determine 
the  ages  of  the  population  within  decennial  periods. 

Sect.  3.  This  enumeration  shall  be  made  by  and  under  the  authority 
of  the  mayor  and  aldermen  of  the  respective  cities,  and  the  selectmen 
of  the  respective  towns,  and  shall  be  made  by  sworn  agents,  as  contain- 
ing all  the  facts  above  specified,  in  respect  to  the  several  cities  and 
towns,  and  shall  be  returned  into  the  office  of  the  secretary  of  the 
Commonwealth,  on  or  before  the  first  day  of  October,  in  the  year 
eighteen  hundred  and  fifty-five,  and  in  each  tenth  year  thereafter.  And 
the  secretary  of  the  Commonwealth  shall  transmit  to  the  mayor  and 
aldermen  and  the  selectmen  aforesaid,  printed  blanks,  to  secure  uniformity 
in  the  returns." 

Under  this  Act  a  census  of  the  State  was  taken  the  same 
year.  This  census  of  1855  differed  from  those  of  1840  and 
1850  in  that  it  allowed  no  exceptions  in  the  enumeration.  The 
instructions  were  explicit : — 

«  All  public  buildings,  as  hotels,  hospitals,  asylums,  houses  of  industry, 
houses  of  correction,  jails,  schools,  &c.,  are  to  be  included  in  the  enumera- 
tion in  the  same  manner  as  houses.  *  *  *  «  Let  the 
name  of  every  inmate  of  every  house  be  distinctly  written." 

The  schedule  adopted  embraced  the  following  particulars  : — 

1. — Dwelling-houses  numbered  in  the  order  of  visitation. 
2. — FamiHes  numbered  in  the  order  of  visitation. 
3. — The  name  of  every  person  whose  usual  place  of  abode  on  the 
first  day  of  June,  1855,  was  in  this  family.

The  returns  of  the  census  of  1855  were  much  more  complete 
and  satisfactory  than  those  of  any  preceding  State  enumera- 
tion, though  not  free  from  defects.  An  abstract  of  the  returns 
was  prepared  in  the  department  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Com- 
monwealth, and  published  by  State  authority,  together  with 
about  seventy-five  pages  of  "  general  remarks," — the  whole 
forming  an  octavo  volume  of  252  pages.  The  principal  tables 
of  the  Abstract  were  five,  entitled  as  follows : — 

"  Table  I. — Sex  and  Color  by  Nativity — Exhibiting  the  number  of 
males  and  females  of  the  total  population, — native  whites,  foreign 
whites,  whites  of  unknown  nativity,  and  total  whites,  native  colored,

281  CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS,  1860. 


CENSUS    OF    MASSACHUSETTS,  1860. 


The  advantages  to  be  derived  from  the  publication  of  a 
carefully  prepared  summary,  or  abstract,  of  the  census  of  Mas- 
sachusetts, from  the  returns  of  the  National  Census  of  1860, 
induced  the  State  legislature  of  that  year  to  make  provision  for 
its  compilation  and  publication.  The  following  Resolve, — 
reported  by  a  joint  committee, — having  unanimously  passed  the 
two  branches,  received  the  executive  approval  on  the  first  day 
of  March  of  the  same  year  : — 

Resolved,  That  the  secretary  of  the  Commonwealth  be  authorized  to 
prepare  an  abstract  of  the  returns  of  the  national  census  to  be  made  the 
present  year,  in  printed  form,  similar  to  the  Abstract  of  the  Census  of 
the  Commonwealth  taken  in  the  year  one  thousand  eight  hundred  and 
fifty-five. 

This  action  of  the  legislature  completes  the  inauguration  of 
a  regular  quinquennial  series  of  documents  relating  to  the  pop- 
ulation of  the  Commonwealth,  as  exhibited  in  the  returns  of 
the  decennial  National  and  State  Censuses  ; — of  which  the 
Abstract  of  the  State  Census  of  1855  was  the  initiatory  volume  ; 
— and  if  persevered  in,  as  it  undoubtedly  will  be,  cannot  fail  to 
add  largely  to  the  general  stock  of  information  concerning  the 
vital  statistics  of  our  population.  In  order,  however,  to  reap 
the  full  benefit  that  may  be  derived  from  the  original  returns, 
these  documents  should  include  abstracts  of  all  the  schedules, — 
including  the  statistics  of  agriculture,  manufactures,  &c.,  as  well 
as  those  of  population.  The  Abstract  of  the  State  census  of  1855 
was  published  in  two  volumes,  or  parts  :  the  one  already  alluded 
to — relating  to  population,  and  another,  of  658  octavo  pages, 
relating  exclusively  to  the  "  Industry  "  of  the  State.  As  the 
secretary  of  the  Commonwealth  did  not  feel  authorized,  under 
the  Resolve  of  1860,  to  include  other  statistics  than  those  of 


GENERAL  REMARKS.  285 

population  in  the  abstract  ordered,  the  present  volume  includes 
all  that  have  been  prepared  for  publication.  But  as  there  seems 
no  good  reason  why  the  important  interests  of  agriculture, 
manufactures,  and  general  industry,  should  be  overlooked,  it  is 
hoped  that  future  legislatures  will  make  adequate  provisions  for 
full  and  complete  abstracts  of  all  the  schedules  embraced  in 
the  official  returns.  In  this  way  only  can  a  true  exhibit  of 
"  the  progress  of  the  Commonwealth  "  be  made  ;  and  the  repre- 
sentatives of  the  interests  in  question  will  hardly  consent  to  a 
continuation  of  any  plan  which  fails  to  recognize  their  proper 
value  and  importance. 

Aggregate  Population. 

The  whole  number  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  Commonwealth, 
on  the  first  day  of  June,  1860,  according  to  the  returns  of  the 
Eighth  United  States  Census,  was  1,231,066.  Of  this  number, 
596,713  were  males,  and  631,353  were  females.  Of  the  total 
population,  4,469  were  colored  males,  and  5,133  were  colored 
females.  The  Indians  of  the  Commonwealth,  of  whom  but  32 
were  returned — exclusive  of  those  in  the  District  of  Marshpee — 
are  included  in  the  tables  with  the  white  population.  Of  the 
32  returned,  23  are  included  in  the  returns  of  Boston,  in  Suffolk 
County,  and  9  in  Sturbridge,  Worcester  County.  The  whole 
number  of  white  males  was  592,244,  and  of  white  females, 
629,220.  This  gives  1,221,465  as  the  total  white  population, 
and  9,602  as  the  total  colored  population  of  the  Commonwealth 
at  the  date  of  the  official  enumeration. 

The  above  figures  agree  with  the  final  revision  of  the  popula- 
tion tables  by  the  Census  Bureau,  at  Washington,  but  differ 
from  those  published  in  the  preceding  pages,  in  the  following 
particulars :  The  revision  gives  one  less  white  male  in  Bristol 
County  ;  transposes  eight  white  males  to  the  column  of  white 
females  in  Suffolk  County  ;  and  adds  one  male  and  nine  females 
to  the  colored  population  of  Plymouth  County. 

The  following  table  gives  the  aggregate  population  of  the 
State,  as  exhibited  in  the  final  revision  above  mentioned, — 
distinguishing  by  sex  and  color,  and  arranged  by  counties  : —

Considered  in  respect  to  its  area,  Massachusetts  ranks  as  the 
thirtieth  State 'in  the  Union,  it  being  computed  to  contain  about 
7,800  square  miles,  or  4,992,000  acres.  In  aggregate  popula- 
tion, it  ranks  as  the  seventh; — New  York,  Pennsylvania,  Ohio, 
Illinois,  Virginia,  and  Indiana,  preceding  it  in  order.  In  the 
number  of  inhabitants  to  the  square  mile,  it  ranks  as  the  Jirst ; 
and  it  stands  at  the  head  of  the  list  in  the  absolute  increase  of 
population  per  square  mile  from  1790  to  1860,  and  also  from 
1850  to  1860. 

The  number  of  inhabitants  to  the  square  mile  in  the  State, 
according  to  the  census  of  1860,  is  157.83.  The  total  increase 
of  population  per  square  mile,  from  1790  to  1860,  was  109.29 
per  cent. ;  and  the  total  increase  per  square  mile  from  1850  to 
1860,  was  30.33  per  cent. 

According  to  the  First  United  States  Census,  of  1790,  Massa- 
chusetts ranked  as  the  fourth  State  of  the  Union  in  respect  to 
aggregate  population.     In  1800,   it  ranked  as  the  fifth,   the

increase  of  its  population  during  the  preceding  ten  years  being 
11.63  per  cent.  In  1810,  it  again  ranked  as  the  fifth,  the 
increase  also  being  as  before,  11.63  per  cent.  In  1820,  it  had 
decluied  to  the  seventh  in  rank,  the  increase  being  10.85  per 
cent.  In  1830,  it  ranked  as  the  eighth,  the  increase  being 
16.65  per  cent.  In  1840,  it  still  ranked  as  the  eighth,  the 
increase  of  population  being  20.85  per  cent.  In  1850,  it  had 
advanced  to  the  sixth  in  population,  the  increase  being  34.81 
per- cent.  In  1860,  it  had  again  declined  to  the  seventh  in 
rank,  the  increase  being  23.79  per  cent.  The  average  decen- 
nial increase  of  the  population  of  the  State  from  1790  to  1860, 
according  to  the  several  United  States  censuses,  has  been  18.61 
per  cent. 

Compared  with  the  sixteen  other  States  included  in  the  census 
of  1790,  Massachusetts  in  1800  ranked  as  the  tenth  State  of  the 
Union  in  regard  to  the  per  cent,  of  increase  in  population 
during  that  decennial  period.  Compared  with  the  nineteen 
other  States  included  in  the  census  of  1800,  Massachusetts  in 
1810  ranked  as  the^;fef;w^/iin  regard  to  the  preceding  decennial 
increase  of  population.  Of  the  twenty-four  States  in  1810, 
Massachusetts  in  1820  ranked  as  the  seventeenth  in  the  same 
particular.  Of  the  twenty-six  States  in  1820,  it  ranked  in  1830 
as  the  eighteenth.  Of  the  twenty-seven  States  in  1830,  it 
ranked  in  1840  as  the  sixteenth.  Of  the  twenty-nine  States  in 
1840,  it  ranked  in  1850  as  the  tenth.  Of  the  thirty-three  States 
in  1850,  it  ranked  in  1860  as  the  7iineteenth. 

Compared  with  the  other  New  England  States,  Massachusetts 
ranks  as  the  fourth  in  superficial  area ;  the  first  in  aggregate 
population  ;  i\\Q  first  in  population  to  the  square  mile  ;  the  tldrd 
in  average  decennial  increase  of  population  from  1790  to  1860  ; 
the  first  in  absolute  increase  of  population  from  1790  to  1860  ; 
and  the  first  in  absolute  increase  of  population  from  1850  to 
1860  ; — as  may  be  seen  from  the  following  table : — 


288  CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS,  1860. 

Area  and  Population  of  the  New  Enigland  States. 


It  will  thus  be  seen  that  the  Commonwealth,  in  its  statistics 
of  aggregate  population,  compares  favorably  with  the  other 
States  of  the  Union,  and  holds  a  prominent,  and  even  leading 
position  among  them. 

The  following  table  exhibits  the  aggregate  population  of  the 
several  Counties  of  the  Commonwealth,  according  to  the  several 
United  States  Censuses,  from  1790  to  1860,  inclusive,  with  the 
per  cent,  of  decennial  increase  or  decrease  of  each ;  and  also 
the  average  decennial  increase  of  each  County  during  the  same 
period : —

290  CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS,  1860. 

From  the  foregoing  table  it  will  be  seen,  that,  while  the 
general  increase  of  the  population  of  the  Commonwealth,  from 
1790  to  1800,  was  11.63  per  cent.,  that  of  the  several  counties 
varied  from  4,50  below,  to  37.21  above  the  number  returned  at 
the  date  first  mentioned, — a  difference  of  forty-two  per  cent. 
In  all  the  counties,  except  one,  there  was  an  actual  gain  in 
population.  In  Dukes  County,  there  was  an  aggregate  loss  of 
147,  equal  to  4,50  per  cent,  of  its  population.  In  Plymouth 
County,  the  increase  was  only  1,77  per  cent.  ;  while  in  Suffolk, 
the  increase  was  equal  to  37.21  per  cent.  Of  the  fourteen  coun- 
ties in  the  State,  eight  fell  below  the  general  average  of  increase. 
These  were — Dukes,  4.50  loss;  and  Plymouth,  1.77;  Essex, 
5.67  ;  Bristol,  6,84 ;  Worcester,  7,71 ;  Middlesex,  9.80 ;  Barn- 
stable, 11,11  ;  and  Berkshire,  11.44  per  cent,  increase,  respec- 
tively. The  largest  per  cent,  of  increase  during  this  period, — 
and  also  during  four  of  the  other  six  decennial  periods  included 
in  the  table, — is  to  be  found  in  the  county  of  Suffolk,  and  may 
be  accounted  for  by  the  various  causes  which  usually  attend 
the  building  up  of  large  cities.  The  region  bordering  on  the 
Connecticut  River,  and  comprising  the  counties  of  Franklin, 
Hampden,  and  Hampshire,  shows  an  increase  of  21,76  per  cent., 
which  was  the  largest  in  the  State,  except  Suffolk,  and  may  be 
ascribed  to  the  attractions  of  its  rich  agricultural  lands.  The 
large  proportionate  increase  in  tlie  county  of  Nantucket,  21.58 
per  cent.,  was  doubtless  due  to  the  increasing  value  and  impor- 
tance of  its  whale  fisheries. 

While  the  aggregate  per  cent,  of  increase  in  the  population  of 
the  State  during  the  second  decennial  period,  was  the  same  as ' 
during  the  first  period,  it  will  be  seen  that  the  growth  of  the 
several  counties  varied  largely  from  that  of  the  first  decade. 
None  of  the  counties  suffered  an  actual  loss  of  population,  while 
the  smallest  gain, — Hampden, — was  4.08  per  cent.  Six  of  the 
counties,  as  before,  exceeded  the  average  per  cent,  of  increase. 
These  were,— Suffolk,  33.33  ;  Nantucket,  21.18  ;  Essex,  17.47  ; 
Barnstable,  15.12  ;  Norfolk,  14.80 ;  and  Middlesex,  12,48. 
The  large  proportionate  increase  in  the  counties  of  Suffolk  and 
Nantucket,  may  be  accounted  for  as  before.  The  increased 
gain  in  Dukes  County,  and  also  in  Barnstable,  may  perhaps  be 
principally  due  to  the  extension  of  the  cod  fisheries  during  that 
period.     The   most   notable   change,   however,   occurs   in   the 


GENERAL  EEMARKS.  291 

region  before  mentioned  as  included  in  the  counties  of  Frank- 
lin, Hampden,  and  Hampshire.  These  made  an  average  gain 
of  only  5.21  per  cent.,  against  their  former  increase  of  21.76 
per  cent., — a  difference  of  16,55  per  cent.  This  was  probably 
due  to  two  causes, — first,  the  previous  settlement  of  the  most 
desirable  lands  for  agricultural  purposes,  and  consequent  turn- 
ing of  the  tide  of  emigration  in  other  directions  ;  and  second, 
to  the  rapid  increase  in  manufactures  and  the  mechanic  arts  in 
other  parts  of  the  State,  which  would  naturally  check  the 
stream  of  emigration  to  the  more  strictly  agricultural  sections. 
The  same  causes  doubtless  exerted  an  influence  in  Berkshire 
County,  which  fell  below  its  previous  decennial  gain  5.16  per 
cent.  The  county  of  Essex,  it  will  be  seen,  increased  17.47  per 
cent.,  a  gain  of  11.80  per  cent,  over  its  rate  of  increase  during 
the  preceding  period.  This  increase  was  no  doubt  largely  due  to 
the  extension  of  its  manufactures,  which  would  not  only  tend  to 
discourage  emigration,  but  would  encourage  immigration. 

The  rate  of  increase  of  the  population  of  the  State  from  1810 
to  1820  was  10.85  per  cent.,  which  is  .78  per  cent,  less  than 
during  either  of  the  preceding  periods.  The  largest  gain, 
as  before,  was  in  Suffolk  County,  the  increase  being  27.80  per 
cent.  The  only  cownty  in  which  there  was  an  actual  loss  in 
population,  was  Berkshire,  amounting  to  an  aggregate  of  217 
persons,  and  equal  to  .60  per  cent.  Dukes  County  during 
this  period  made  an  aggregate  gain  of  two  persons.  Five 
counties  only  exceeded  the  average  rate  of  increase,  viz.  : 
Suffolk,  27.80  ;  Norfolk,  16.72  ;  Middlesex,  16.44 ;  Hampden, 
14.74 ;  and  Worcester,  13.42  per  cent.,  respectively.  The 
increase  in  Essex  County  was  but  3.84  per  cent.,  against 
17.47  per  cent,  gain  during  the  period  immediately  preceding  ; 
and  the  increase  in  Nantucket  County  was  but  6.74  per  cent., 
against  21.18  per  cent,  for  the  preceding  period.  Barnstable 
County  also  fell  below  its  preceding  rate  of  increase  6.95  per 
cent.  The  disturbing  influences  of  the  "  War  of  1812"  were 
no  doubt  the  principal  causes  of  the  relative  decline  in  these 
counties. 

Fi-om  1820  to  1830  the  aggregate  rate  of  increase  in  the  pop- 
ulation of  the  State  was  16.65  per  cent.,  an  increase  of  5.80 
per  cent,  over  that  of  the  preceding  decennial  period.  Four 
counties  exceeded  the  average  gain,  viz. :  Suffolk,  41.47  ;  Mid- 


292  CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS,  1860. 

dlesex,  26.80  ;  Bristol,  21.22  ;  and  Barnstable,  18.65  per  cent., 
respectively.  Nantucket  County  alone  experienced  an  actual 
decline  in  population, — amounting  to  .88  per  cent., — equal  to 
7.62  per  cent,  decline  from  its  rate  of  increase  for  the  period 
immediately  preceding,  and  17.38  per  cent,  decline  from  the 
average  increase  of  the  three  preceding  decennial  periods. 
This  continvied  decline  was  no  doubt  largely  caused,  as  above 
mentioned,  by  the  disturbing  influences  of  the  war,  from  the 
effects  of  which  the  recovery  was  necessarily  slow,  on  account 
of  the  peculiar  nature  of  the  leading  occupation  of  the  popula- 
tion. The  large  actual  and  relative  increase  in  the  population 
of  Barnstable  County,  is  to  be  accounted  for  principally  by  the 
increased  profit  and  large  extension  of  the  cod  fisheries  during 
that  decennial  period.  The  operation  of  the  same  cause  proba- 
bly contributed,  in  some  degree,  toward  the  continued  decline 
in  the  population  of  Nantucket  for  the  same  period.  The  large 
relative  increase  in  Middlesex,  Bristol,  and  Essex  Counties,  was 
most  probably  due  to  the  rapid  extension  of  manufactures,  and 
the  mechanic  arts,  in  those  counties,  after  the  close  of  the  war 
already  referred  to, — stimulated  as  these  had  been  by  the  same 
state  of  things  which  had  proved  unfavorable  to  the  county  of 
Nantucket. 

Tlie  aggregate  increase  in  the  population  of  the  Common- 
wealth, from  1830  to  1840,  was  20.85  percent., — nearly  double 
that  of  any  former  period,  except  the  one  immediately  preceding. 
The  largest  increase  during  this  period, — as  also  during  each 
of  those  which  had  preceded  it, — was  in  Suffolk  County  ;  it 
being  no  less  than  54.06  per  cent.  Of  the  remaining  four 
counties  which  exceeded  the  general  average  rate  of  increase, 
Middlesex  showed  a  gain  of  36.74  ;  Norfolk,  26.60  ;  Nantucket, 
25.13  ;  and  Bristol,  21.31  per  cent.,  respectively.  The  large 
proportionate  increase  in  the  population  of  Middlesex,  may  be 
principally  attributed  to  the  rapid  growth  of  its  manufactures. 
Of  the  28,650  aggregate  increase  in  the  county,  14,322,  or  fifty 
per  cent.,  was  made  in  the  city  of  Lowell  alone, — its  population 
having  increased  from  6,474  to  20,796  during  tliat  period.  Tiie 
large  gain  in  the  population  of  Nantucket, — from  .88  per  cent, 
decline,  to  25.13  per  cent,  increase, — was  clearly  due  to  the 
extension  of  its  principal  business  during  the  same  period.  The 
relative  decrease  in  the  gain  of  Hampshire  County, — amounting 


GENERAL  REMARKS.  •     293 

to  12.17  per  cent,  less  than  that  of  the  preceding  period, — may 
perhaps  be  principally  accounted  for  by  the  increased  attrac- 
tions of  manufactures  and  the  mechanic  arts  in  the  adjacent 
county  of  Hampden,  and  to  the  strong  tide  of  emigration  to 
the  West  during  this  period. 

From  1840  to  1850  the  aggregate  increase  in  the  population 
of  the  State  was  34.81  per  cent.  This  was  13.96  per  cent, 
more  tlian  the  decennial  increase  during  any  preceding  period, 
and  11.01  per  cent,  more  than  that  from  1850  to  1860.  Large 
as  was  this  aggregate  rate  of  increase,  it  was  exceeded  by  the 
increase  in  six  of  the  counties.  These  were, — Middlesex, 
51.37  ;  Suffolk,  50.89  ;  Norfolk,  48.46  ;  Essex,  38.22 ;  Hamp- 
den, 37.24  ;  and  Worcester,  37.22  per  cent.,  respectively.  For 
the  first  time,  Suffolk  County  failed  to  head  the  list  of  counties 
in  the  rate  of  decennial  increase,  although  its  gain  was  more  tlian 
fifty  per  cent.  It  is  worthy  of  note,  that  the  higliest  rate  of 
increase  during  this  period,  was  in  those  counties  most  largely 
engaged  in  manufactures  and  the  mechanic  arts.  The  only 
county  in  which  there  was  an  actual  loss  of  population,  was 
Nantucket,  in  which  the  decline  was  560  persons,  or  6.21  per 
cent. ; — equal  to  31.34  per  cent,  decline  from  its  rate  of  increase 
during  the  period  immediately  preceding. 

From  1850  to  1860  the  aggregate  rate  of  increase  for  the 
Commonwealth  was  23.79  per  cent.  This  was  the  second 
highest  rate  of  increase  of  the  several  periods  from  1790  to 
1860,  and  was  5.18  per  cent,  above  the  average  aggregate 
decennial  increase  for  the  same  period.  The  largest  increase 
during  this  period  was  in  the  county  of  Norfolk,  amounting  to 
39.36  per  cent.  The  next  largest  was  Suffolk  County, — 33.34 
per  cent. ;  the  third,  Middlesex,  showed  a  gain  of  27.24  per 
cent.  ;  and  the  fourth,  Essex,  an  increase  of  26.13  per  cent. 
These  were  the  only  counties  which  exceeded  the  average  rate 
of  increase  during  that  decennial  period.  Two  counties, 
Dukes  and  Nantucket,  actually  declined  in  population.  The 
aggregate  loss  in  Dukes  County  was  137,  or  3.01  per  cent. 
Compared  with  the  period  immediately  preceding,  this  was  a 
relative  decline  of  17.71  per  cent.  The  aggregate  decline  in 
Nantucket  County  was  2,358  persons,  equal  to  27.78  per  cent. 
The  aggregate  decline  in  the  population  of  this  county  for  the 


294       .        CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS,  1860. 

twenty  years  from  1840  to  18G0,  was  no  less  than  32.38  per 
cent. 

The  average  decennial  increase  in  the  popnlation  of  the  Com- 
monwealth, from  1790  to  1860,  lias  been  18.61  per  cent.  But 
three  counties  have  exceeded  this  general  average.  These  are 
Suffolk,  39.73  per  cent.,  Middlesex,  25.84  per  cent.,  and  Norfolk, 
25.00  per  cent.,  respectively.  The  smallest  average  rate  of 
increase  has  been  in  Dukes  County,  4.58  per  cent.  Next  to 
this  is  Nantucket  County,  which  shows  an  average  of  only  5.66 
per  cent,  increase.  The  next  in  the  same  order,  is  Frankliu 
County,  6.38  per  cent. 

In  each  of  those  counties  which  show  an  average  decennial 
increase  of  16  per  cent,  and  upward,  manufactures  and  the 
mechanic  arts  form  a  prominent  pursuit  of  the  population. 
Tliese  counties  are  Suffolk,  Middlesex,  Norfolk,  Hampden^ 
Bristol,  Essex,  and  Worcester,  (placed  in  the  order  of  their 
increase,)  whose  aggregate  average  increase  has  been  22.56  per 
cent.  The  aggregate  average  increase  of  the  counties  of  Berk- 
shire, Franklin,  and  Hampshire,  which  may  be  considered  as 
almost  entirely  agricultural  counties,  has  been  8.73  per  cent. ; 
while  in  Barnstable,  Nantucket,  and  Dukes  Counties,  wliich 
may  be  considered  as  more  especially  maritime,  the  aggregate 
average  increase  has  been  but  7.11  per  cent,  during  the  same 
period. 

The  large  influence  of  manufactures  upon  population,  as 
indicated  by  the  comparisons  in  the  preceding  paragrapli,  are 
obvious,  and  well  known.  The  subject,  however,  is  one  of  the 
most  interesting  connected  with  the  statistics  of  population^ 
and  is  well  worth  further  consideration  in  this  place. 

For  nearly  two  centuries  from  the  first  occiipation  of  the  soil 
of  Massachusetts,  by  our  ancestors,  the  people  were  mostly 
employed  in  tiie  pursuits  of  agricnlture.  As  early  as  1765,  a 
very  large  portion  of  the  territory  had  been  incorporated  into 
towns  and  districts,  and  so  rapidly  were  the  unoccupied  lands 
settled  by  emigrants  from  the  older  towns,  that  in  1790  the 
most  of  the  territory  of  the  State  was  already  formed  into 
incorporated  towns.  This  will  account  for  the  fact  that  the 
population  of  the  western  part  of  the  State  actually  increased 
faster  during  the  twenty-five  years,  between  1765  and  1790, 
than  it  has  at  any  equal  period  since  the  last  named  date.    From 


GENERAL  REMARKS.  295 

1765  to  1790,  the  population  of  the  four  western  counties  of 
Hampshire,  Hampden,  Franklin,  and  Berkshire,  increased 
174.68  per  cent. ;  while  from  1790  to  1840,  a  period  of  fifty 
years,  their  increase  was  but  53.88  per  cent.  The  latter  is  less 
than  one-third  of  the  former  increase,  although  the  period  is 
double. 

If  we  divide  the  period  from  1790  to  1840  into  two  parts,  we 
shall  find  that  during  the  second  part  the  number  of  inhabi- 
tants was  increased  in  a  much  larger  proportion  than  in  the 
first.  The  surplus  population,  instead  of  emigrating,  were 
more  generally  retained  at  home  by  the  encouragements  held 
out  by  the  increase  of  manufacturing  enterprise.  The  first 
period  was  distinguished  by  greater  emigration  to  other  States, 
and  by  the  pursuit  of  agriculture  as  the  principal  employment, 
and  the  second  by  the  increase  of  manufactures.  By  compar- 
ing the  census  of  1820  with  that  of  1840,  we  find  that  the 
increase  of  those  towns  principally  engaged  in  agriculture,  was 
but  4.65  per  cent,  of  the  population,  while  the  increase  of  those 
principally  engaged  in  manufactures,  was  9.88  per  cent. — or 
more  than  twice  as  great.  The  increase  of  the  former,  in  the 
twenty  years,  was  38.41  per  cent.,  while  the  increase  of  the 
latter  was  154.50  per  .cent. — or  more  than  four  times  as  great.* 

A  comparative  view  of  the  population  of  Bristol,  Essex, 
Hampden,  Middlesex,  Norfolk,  and  Worcester  Counties,  as 
exhibited  in  the  following  table,  will  still  more  forcibly  illus- 
trate the  influence  of  manufactures  upon  the  increase  of  popu- 
lation. The  table  contains  sev^eral  commercial  towns  and  cities, 
it  being  presumed  that  the  increase  of  commerce  has  been  prin- 
cipally dependent  upon  manufactures,  and,  furthermore,  that 
many  of  the  towns  omitted  are  largely  engaged  in  manufac- 
turing, while  a  good  portion  of  the  increase  in  others  has  been 
mainly  owing  to  manufactures.  It  is  obvious,  therefore,  tliat 
these  comparisons,  though  they  plainly  show  the  large  influ- 
ence of  manufactures  upon  population,  are  yet  but  imperfect 
indications  of  the  real  extent  of  that  influence.

From  the  foregoing  table,  it  will  be  seen,  that  Bristol  County^ 
with  a  population  of  49,592  in  1830,  had  increased  to  93,79-1  in 
1860, — an  increase  equal  to  89.13  per  cent. ;  while  seven  of 
the  more  prominent  manufacturing  towns  in  the  county,  vii.. 


GENERAL  EEMARKS.  297 

Attleborough,  Easton,  Fall  River,  Mansfield,  New  Bedford, 
Pawtucket,  and  Taunton,  with  an  aggrej^ate  population  in  1830 
of  25,394,  had  increased  in  1860  to  67,149,— or  164.42  per 
cent.  The  thirteen  remaining  towns  in  the  county,  with  a 
population  in  1830  of  24,198,  had  only  increased  in  1860  to 
26,645,  or  10.12  per  cent.  While,  therefore,  the  last  men- 
tioned towns  fell  below  the  general  average  of  the  county, 
relatively,  79.01  per  cent.,  the  former  exceeded  the  same 
average  75.29  per  cent.  In  other  words,  the  manufacturino- 
towns  show  a  relative  increase  of  154.30  per  cent,  over  those 
m  the  same  county  which  are  not  prominently  engaged  in 
manufacturing. 

Essex  County,  with  a  population  in  1830  of  82,859,  shows 
an  aggregate  increase  of  82,572  during  the  period  mentioned, 
or  99.87  per  cent.  Twelve  of  the  more  prominent  manufac- 
turing cities  and  towns  in  the  county,  viz.,  Amesbury,  Andover 
(including  North  Andover,)  Danvers,  Gloucester,  (including 
Rockport,)  Haverhill,  Lynn,  Marblehead,  Methuen,  (includt 
mg  Lawrence,)  Newburyport,  Salem,  Salisbury,  and  Saugus 
exhibit  an  increase  of  114.83  per  cent,  during  the  same  period  ; 
while  the  remaining  towns  show  a  gain  of  only  61.40  per  cent., 
—or  53.43  per  cent,  below  the  increase  of  the  former.  The 
manufacturing  towns  exceeded  the  general  average  for  the 
county  14.96  per  cent.,  while  the  others  fell  below  the  same 
average  38.47  per  cent. 

In  Hampden  County,  the  aggregate  increase  from  1830  to 
1860,  was  81.31  per  cent.  During  the  same  period  the  increase 
in  Palmer,  Springfield,  (including  Chicopee,)  Westfield,  and 
West  Springfield,  (including  Holyoke,)  was  171.92  per  cent.,— 
or  90.61  per  cent,  above  the  county  average;  while  in  the 
remaining  towns  the  increase  was  but  7.24  per  cent.,— or  74.07 
per  cent,  below  the  same  average.  The  increase  in  these  manu- 
facturing towns  exceeded  that  of  the  other  towns  in  the  county 
164.68  per  cent. 

In  Middlesex  County,  the  aggregate  increase  from  1830  to 
1860,  was  177.51  per  cent.  During  the  same  period,  the

town,  West  Cambridge,  and  Woburn,  (including  Winchester,) 
was  259.44  per  cent., — 81.93  per  cent,  above  the  county 
average  ;  while  in  the  remaining  thirty-one  towns  the  increase 
was  but  54.69  per  cent.,  or  122.82  per  cent,  below  the  same 
average.  The  increase  in  the  nineteen  cities  and  towns  first 
mentioned,  was  204.75  per  cent,  more  than  the  increase  in  the 
remaining  thirty-one  towns. 

The  aggregate  increase  of  Norfolk  County  from  1830  lo 
1860,  was  161.96  per  cent.  During  the  same  period,  the 
increase  in  the  towns  of  Braintree,  Brookline,  Canton,  Dedham, 
Dorchester,  Foxborough,  Franklin,  Medway,  Needham,  Quincy, 
Randolph,  Stoughton,  Weymouth,  and  city  of  Roxbury, 
(including  West  Roxbury,)  was  202.16  per  cent. ;  while  the 
increase  in  the  remaining  towns  was  but  39.73  per  cent.  The 
increase  in  the  fourteen  manufacturing  towns  was,  therefore, 
40.20  per  cent,  more  than  the  average  increase  for  the  county, 
and  162.43  per  cent,  more  than  that  of  the  eight  remaining, 
towns  ;  while  in  the  latter,  the  increase  was  122.23  per  cent, 
below  the  county  average,  and  162.43  per  cent,  below  that  of 
the  manufacturing  towns. 

The  aggregate  increase  of  Worcester  County  from  1830  to 
1860,  was  75,304,  or  89.27  per  cent.  In  sixteen  of  the  most 
prominent  manufacturing  towns  of  the  county,  viz.,  Douglas, 
Fitchburg,  Gardner,  Grafton,  Lancaster,  (including  Clinton,) 
Mendon,  (including  Blackstone,)  Milford,  Millbury,  North- 
bridge,  Oxford,  (including  Webster,)  Southbridge,  Sturbridge, 
Templeton,  Uxbridge,  Winchendon,  and  the  city  of  Worcester, 
the  aggregate  increase  was  196.20  per  cent.  In  the  remaining 
thirty-nine  towns  the  increase  was  28.85  per  cent.  It  will  thus 
be  seen  that  the  manufacturing  towns  increased  106.93  per  cent, 
more  than  the  county  average,  and  167.35  per  cent,  more  than 
the  increase  of  the  remaining  towns  ;  while  the  latter  fell 
below  the  average  county  increase  60.42  per  cent.,  and  167.35 
per  cent,  below  the  increase  of  the  sixteen  manufacturing 
towns. 

Tlie  aggregate  increase  of  the  population  of  the  Common- 
wealth from  1830  to  1860,  was  101.67  per  cent.  The  aggregate 
increase  of  the  seventy-two  manufacturing  cities  and  towns 
above  named,  during  the  same  period,  was  188.16  per  cent. ; 
and  of  the  remaining  one  hundred  and  twenty-three  towns  in

the  same  counties,  33.67  per  cent.  The  towns  first  named 
exceeded  the  general  average  of  the  Commonwealth  86.49  per 
cent.,  while  the  latter  fell  below  the  same  general  average  68.00 
per  cent.  The  increase  in  these  manufacturing  towns,  there- 
fore, exceeded  that  of  the  other  towns  in  the  same  counties 
154,49  per  cent.  In  other  words,  the  increase  of  population 
in  the  manufacturing  towns  was,  relatively,  more  than  five 
times  as  great  as  the  increase  in  those  towns  in  the  same  coun- 
ties which  were  not  so  prominently  engaged  in  manufactures. 
It  should  be  remembered  that  in  by  far  the  larger  portion  of 
those  towns  not  classed  as  manufacturing,  more  or  less  of  their 
population  are  nevertheless  engaged  in  manufacturing  or  com- 
mercial pursuits.  Take  for  example  the  County  of  Essex. 
The  total  population,  in  1855,  of  the  nineteen  towns  classed  in 
the  preceding  table  as  »2ow-manufacturing,  was  35,439.  The 
number  of  persons  returned  by  the  same  census,  (State  Census  of 
1855,)  as  wholly  employed  in  manufactures,  and  the  fisheries, 
in  these  same  towns,  was  7,662.  This  is  equal  to  21.62  per  cent, 
of  the  aggregate  population,  as  will  be  seen  from  the  following 
table : —

*  The  population  of  Lynnfield  in  1850,  as  given  on  page  202,  from  the  United  States  Census,  is 
incorrect.  According  to  the  State  Census  of  1850,  the  population  was  1,010;  according  to  the 
same  authority,  the  population  in  1855  was  883;  and  according  to  the  Eighth  United  States  Census 
the  population  in  1860  was  866.  According  to  the  first  named  authority,  the  number  of  males  in 
1850  was  1,250,  while  the  number  of  females  was  but  468.  The  number  of  males  is  clearly  incor- 
rect, but  as  no  means  of  correction  are  at  hand,  the  number  returned  by  the  State  Census  of  1850 
is  given  in  the  above  table  as  the  true  population  for  that  year.

Of  the  224  cities  and  towns  whicli  actually  increased  in 
population  from  1850  to  1860,  the  largest  gain  was  made  by 
the  town  of  Somerville,  in  Middlesex  County, — it  being  no  less 
tlian  126.67  per  cent.  Five  others,  only,  made  a  gain  of  100 
per  cent.,  and  upward.  These  were — Lawrence,  112.98 ; 
Brookline,  105.2-4;  Marlborough,  100.85;  Melrose,  100.55,  and 
Natick  100  per  cent.,  respectively.  All  of  the  above,  except 
Brookline,  are  in  the  County  of  Middlesex.  In  two  of  them — 
Marlborough  and  Natick — the  large  increase  has  been  prin- 
cipally due  to  the  rapid  extension  of  boot  and  shoe  manufac- 
tures.    In   the  others,  the  large  proportionate  gain  is  to  be

accounted  for  by  the  attractions  which  those  towns  present  for 
suburban  residences. 

The  only  places,  in  addition  to  the  above,  which  exceeded 
seventy-five  per  cent,  increase,  were  Chelsea,  in  Suffolk  County, 
99.89  per  cent.,  and  Milford,  in  Worcester  County,  89.50  per 
cent,  increase,  respectively.  In  addition  to  those  named  above, 
twenty  others  exhibit  a  gain  of  fifty  per  cent,  and  upward, 
respectively — making  a  total  of  twenty-seven  cities  and  towns 
which  experienced  an  increase  of  at  least  fifty  per  cent,  each 
during  the  decade  included  in  the  table.     These  are —

A  comparison  of  the  progress  of  the  several  cities  and  towns 
during  the  two  periods  included  in  the  table  under  considera- 
tion, develops  the  interesting  fact  that  the  population  of  many 
of  tiie  towns  fluctuated  to  a  considerable  extent  during  the  ten 
years  from  1850  to  1860.  Thus,  Brewster,  in  Barnstable 
County,  made  a  gain  of  1.46  per  cent,  from  1850  to  1855,  but 
during  the  next  subsequent  five  years  declined  nearly  four  per 
cent.  Mount  Washington,  in  Berkshire  County,  increased  1.18 
per  cent,  from  1850  to  1855,  but  declined  nearly  ten  per  cent, 
from  1855  to  1860.  It  will  also  be  seen,  that  in  many  of  the 
towns,  the  rate  of  increase,  or  decrease,  varied  largely  during 
the  two  periods.    Thus,  Orleans,  in  Barnstable  County,  declined:

1.90  per  cent,  from  1850  to  1855,  but  during  the  next  five  years 
its  loss  was  no  less  than  7.29  per  cent.  Attleborough,  in 
Bristol  County,  experienced  an  increase  of  31.13  per  cent,  from 
1850  to  1855,  but  during  the  next  quinquennial  period  its 
increase  was  only  13.29  per  cent. 

Age. 

The  ag^es  of  a  population  is  an  interesting  and  instructive 
element  of  information,  and  its  importance  has  always  been 
acknowledged  by  writers  upon  vital  statistics.  It  has  been 
said,  and  with  mucli  truth,  that  "  a  country  is  placed  in  the 
most  favorable  circumstances  for  advancement  when  it  has  the 
largest  proportionate  number  of  its  inhabitants  of  an  age 
suited  to  active  employments."  That  age,  according  to  the 
opinion  of  some  writers,  is  between  15  and  50,  while  others 
consider  that  from  15  to  60  would  be  a  better  division.  The 
latter  division  appears  to  be  the  most  appropriate — at  least  for 
Massachusetts — and  is  therefore  adopted  for  the  present  purposes 
of  comparison. 

Those  persons  under  15  years  of  age  may  be  classed  as 
Dependent^  because  they  are  dependent  on  those  older  for 
support ;  those  from  15  to  60  may  be  classed  as  Productive^ 
because  they  are  the  only  class  who  enjoy  the  full  vigor  of  life, 
and  are  capable  of  fully  discliarging  its  manifold  duties ;  while 
those  above  60  years  of  age  may  be  considered  as  the  Aged 
class.  Tlie  first  and  third  classes  combined  may  be  called  the 
Unproductive  class,  and  the  other  the  Productive  class — using 
the  word  productive  as  applied  to  labor,  in  contradistinction 
from  idleness  or  inability.  One  class  are  producers,  and  the 
other  consumers.  Applying  this  principle  of  division  to  the 
population  of  the  State  in  1800,  we  find  that  394,249  persons, 
equal  to  32.02  per  cent,  of  the  total  population,  were  under  15 
years  of  age ;  755,435,  or  61.36  per  cent.,  were  between  15 
and  60 ;  and  81,382,  or  6.61  per  cent,  were  60  years  and 
upward.  By  adding  the  first  and  third  classes  together,  we 
have  475,631  persons,  equal  to  38.63  per  cent,  of  the  total 
population,  who  may  be  considered  as  constituting  the  Unj)ro- 
ductive  class,  and  who  are  mainly  dependent  upon  the  labor  of 
the  remaining  755,435,  or  61.36  per  cent,  of  the  population, 
for  their  support.     In  other  words,  the  Productive  class  consti-

In  the  preceding  comparisons,  persons  of  "  unknown  "  age, 
of  whom  432  were  returned,  are  classed  with  those  of  sixty 
years  of  age  and  upward,  though  they  might,  with  perhaps 
equal  propriety,  have  been  either  omitted  entirely,  or  divided 
between  the  second  and  third  classes.  Most  of  those  so  returned 
are  adults.  In  the  calculations  of  the  United  States  Census 
Bureau,  upon  the  census  of  1850,  seven-tenths  of  the  males  of 
unknown  ages  are  supposed  to  have  been  between  fifteen  and 
sixty  years  of  age.

Bearing  in  mind  that  the  State  Census  of  1855  did  not  dis- 
tinguish those  under  one  year  of  age,  it  will  be  seen  from  the 
above  table  that  there  has  been  comparatively  little  variation  in 
the  proportion  of  the  several  ages  during  the  period  included. 
It  is  worthy  of  note,  however,  that  the  proportion  of  those 
between  the  ages  of  10  and  30  has  slightly  but  regularly 
declined  from  1850  to  1860  ;  while  in  each  of  the  decennial 
divisions  from  30  to  80  years,  the  reverse  has  been  the  case. 
This  is  the  more  remarkable  from  the  fact  that  during  the 
whole  of  the  periods  included  there  does  not  appear  a  single 
exception.  The  per  cent,  of  persons  between  10  and  30  years 
of  age  has  gradually  diminished,  while  the  per  cent,  of  those 


GENERAL  REMARKS. 


317 


between  the  ages  of  30  and  80  years  has  steadily  increased. 
Tlie  cause  of  this  is  not  apparent.  Neither  the  known  facts  of 
emigration  or  immigration  afford  a  solution  of  the  problem. 
The  former  might,  perhaps,  be  said  to  account  for  the  relative 
decrease  of  persons  between  the  ages  of  20  and  30  years,  but  it 
will  be  seen  that  a  similar  decrease  has  also  taken  place  between 
the  ages  of  10  and  15  years.  On  the  other  hand,  immigration 
might  be  said  to  account  for  the  relative  increase  of  persons 
between  the  ages  of  30  to  40,  or  even  from  30  to  50,  but  it 
could  hardly  be  assigned  as  the  cause  of  the  increase  of  those 
between  the  ages  of  60  and  80  years.  A  partial  solution  may 
perhaps  be  found  among  the  statistics  of  births  and  deaths.  An 
examination  of  these  will  show  that  the  aggregate  increase  of 
deaths  during  the  period  mentioned  slightly  exceeded  the 
increase  of  births  during  the  same  period,  as  may  be  seen  from 
the  following  statement ; —

From  the  above  it  will  be  seen  that  while  the  number  of 
births  increased  from  2.78  to  2.92  per  cent,  of  the  total  popula- 
tion, the  number  of  deaths  increased  from  1.67  to  1.87  per 
cent., — a  difference  of  .06  per  cent.  In  addition  to  this,  may 
be  mentioned  the  fact  that  sixty  per  cent,  of  the  deaths  in  the 
Commonwealth  occur  among  persons  under  thirty  years  of  age. 

According  to  the  foregoing  table,  the  per  cent,  of  persons 
under  20  years  of  age  is  nearly  ten  per  cent,  less  in  Massachu- 
setts than  in  the  United  States  at  large  ;  while  the  per  cent,  of 
those  of  20  years  and  upward,  is  nearly  ten  per  cent,  greater 
in  the  former  than  in  the  latter.  The  explanation  of  this  is 
doubtless  to  be  found  in  the  numerous  manufactories  of  the 
Commonwealth,  which  invite  the  immigration  of  large  numbers 
of  adults,  of  both  sexes,  not  only  from  the  sister  States,  but 
from  foreign    countries.     This   large   demand   for  operatives, 


318 


CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS,  1860. 


mechanics,  and  laborers,  may  also  be  assigned  as  a  prominent, 
if  not  the  principal  cause  of  the  increase  in  the  per  cent,  of 
persons  of  30  years  of  age  and  upward,  as  already  noted. 

Sex. 

It  will  be  seen,  from  tables  I.  and  II.  of  the  preceding 
abstract,  that  in  1860  the  number  of  males  in  the  State  was 
596,721,  while  the  number  of  females  was  634,336.  This 
shows  an  excess  of  37,615  females  in  the  Commonwealth  at 
that  period.  This  predominence  in  number  on  the  part  of 
females  in  the  State  is  not  peculiar  to  the  census  of  1860,  but 
has  prevailed  for  at  least  nearly  a  century,  as  will  be  seen  from 
the  following  table  : —

It  will  thus  be  seen  that  the  white  females  of  the  Common- 
wealth have  outnumbered  the  white  males  at  each  census  included 
in  the  above  table.*  The  smallest  excess — equal  to  two  and  one- 
half  per  cent. — was  in  1810  ;  and  the  greatest — nearly  six  and 
one-fourth  per  cent. — was  in  1860.  The  average  excess  of  females 
during  the  whole  period  was  upward  of  four  per  cent.  It  will  be 
noticed,  that  from  1850  to  1860,  the  excess  of  females  increased 
19,695,  or  2.68  per  cent.     During  the  latter  period  more  males 

*  Previous  to  1820,  the  sex  of  the  colored  population  was  not  distinguished 
by  the  United  States  censuses. 


GENERAL  REMARKS.

tlian  females  were  born  in  the  State,  and  more  females  than 
males  died,  as  may  be  seen  by  the  official  reports  on  Regis- 
tration. 

In  1855,  the  excess  of  females  in  the  State,  including  colored, 
was  83,056,  there  being  105.87  females  to  each  100  males.  In 
1860,  there  were,  including  colored,  37,615  more  females  than 
males,  or  106.30  females  to  each  100  males.  The  increase  of 
females  over  males  during  these  five  years  was  therefore  4,559. 
During  these  same  five  years  4,441  more  males  than  females 
were  born,  while  226  more  females  than  males  died,  as  may  be 
seen  from  the  following : —

While,  therefore,  the  returns  of  births  and  deaths  in  ihe 
State  would  indicate  a  relative  decrease  of  4,667  females  during 
the  above  period,  it  appears  by  the  census  that  there  was  an 
actual  relative  increase  of  no  less  than  4,559.  We  must 
therefore  infer  that  some  9,226  more  females  than  males  were 
added  to  the  population  of  the  State  by  immigration  during 
that  period. 

The  only  States  of  the  Union  in  which  the  females  out- 
number the  males  are  those  of  New  England.  In  each  and  all 
of  the  other  States  the  males  outnumber  the  females.  Of  the 
New  England  States,  the  largest  proportionate  excess  of  females 
is  to  be  found  in  Massachusetts.  Taking  the  New  England 
States  together,  the  number  of  females  lias  been  from  one  to 
tiiree  in  a  hundred  more  than  the  number  of  males  ;  while  in 
the  United  States  as  a  whole,  the  number  of  white  females

lias,  at  every  census,  been   from  four  to  six  in  a  hundred  less 
than  that  of  the  white  males. 

The  following  table  gives  the  number  of  white  females  to  100 
white  males,  in  Massachusetts,  New  England,  and  several  other 
sections  of  the  Union,  and  also  in  the  United  States  at  large,

Tlie  total  number  of  white  males  in  the  United  States  in 
1860  was  13,849,087,  and  of  white  females  13,115,843,  showing 
an  excess  of  733,244  males.  In  this  respect  the  population  of 
the  United  States  differs  in  a  marked  degree  from  that  of  other 
countries.  In  Great  Britain  and  Ireland,  the  females  out- 
number the  males  some  877,000,  in  a  population  of  a  little 
more  than  29,000,000.  This  disparity  in  the  sexes  is  the  result 
of  a  variety  of  causes.  As  it  regards  the  United  States,  the 
large  emigration  from  all  parts  of  Europe  of  men  in  the  prime 
of  life,*  and  the  few  losses  we  had  up  to  that  period  sustained 
fjom  the  contingencies  incident  to  a  state  of  war,  have  served 
to  exhibit  for  us  a  larger  proportionate  male  population  than 
can  be  shown  in  any  other  country. 

The  effect  of  the  present  war,  with  its  immense  loss  of  life, 
lias  occasioned  serious  queries  in  many  minds  as  to  the  conse- 
quent  preponderance    of   females    in    the    population    of  the

GENERAL  REMARKS.  321 

country.  This  presumption  of  a  deficiency  of  males  at  the 
close  of  the  war,  is  based  upon  the  established  fact  that  in  the 
world  at  large  the  total  of  males  and  of  females,  respectively, 
varies  so  little  for  any  given  time,  or  for  a  period  of  years,  that 
there  is  never  a  serious  preponderance  of  either  sex.  This 
presumption  is  correct ;  but  it  is  not  equally  true  that  there  is 
a  numerical  equality  of  the  sexes  in  any  and  every  given 
locality,  or  country,  as  we  have  already  seen.  While  there 
was,  in  1860,  a  preponderance  of  females  in  Massachusetts,  and 
the  other  States  of  New  England,  in  Michigan  there  was  an 
excess  of  40,000  males  ;  in  Wisconsin,  43,000  ;  in  Indiana, 
47,938  ;  in  Illinois,  92,000,  and  in  the  newer  States  the  disparity 
is  still  greater ;  so  that,  taking  the  country  as  a  whole,  the 
males  were  at  that  date  733,244  in  excess  of  the  females.  It 
must  be  indeed  a  bloody  and  a  long  protracted  war  that  will 
overcome  even  this  excess.  It  should  also  be  I'emembered, 
that  the  constant  influx  of  men,  in  tiie  prime  and  vigor  of  man- 
hood, from  the  Old  World,  which  is  continually  going  on,  must 
exert  a  large  influence  against  the  presumed  deficiency  of 
males. 

Colored  Population. 

The  whole  number  of  persons  of  color  in  the  Commonwealth, 
on  the  first  day  of  June,  1860,  was  9,602 ;  of  which  number, 
4,469  were  males,  and  5,133  were  females.  These  totals  differ 
slightly  from  the  numbers  given  on  page  118,  as  is  more  fully 
explained  on  page  285. 

The  colored  population  of  Massachusetts  properly  comprises 
not  only  the  pure  blacks  of  the  African  race,  and  their  various 
mixtures  with  the  whites, — commonly  called  mulattoes^ — but 
also  mixtures  of  the  whites  and  others  with  the  Indians,  partic- 
ularly at  Marshpee.  But  in  Tables  I.  and  II.,  of  the  preceding 
Abstract, — which  were  kindly  furnished  from  the  Census 
Department, — all  but  17  of  the  inhabitants  of  Marshpee  are 
classed  as  whites.  In  the  original  returns,  the  inhabitants  of 
that  District  are  classed  as  follows  : —

The  number  of  those  who  are  the  pure  descendants  of  either 
the  African  or  Indian  race,  is  believed  to  constitute  but  a  very 
smaU  part  of  the  colored  population  of  the  Commonwealth, 
while  most  of  them  are  a  mixture  of  whites  with  Indians  and 
negroes.  This  is  especially  true  of  the  District  of  Marshpee, 
whose  population  for  at  least  three-fourths  of  a  century  has 
been  mostly  a  mixed  race  of  Indians,  negroes,  and  others,  with 
but  few,  if  any,  pure  bloods  of  either.  In  1840,  the  population 
of  the  District  was  returned  as  309,  of  whom  9  were  white 
males,  6  white  females,  146  colored  males,  and  148  colored 
females. 

According  to  the  Provincial  Census  of  1765,  the  colored  pop- 
ulation in  the  returns  of  182  towns,  was  4,978,  to  which  by 
adding  147,  the  number  according  to  the  United  States  Census 
for  16  towns  in  1790,  which  were  not  returned  in  1765,  and  74 
for  their  number  in  Newbury  and  Newburyport,  whose  returns 
in  1765  did  not  specify  the  color, — this  last  number  being  in 
proportion  to  the  number  in  those  towns  in  1790, — we  have 
5,199  for  the  estimated  number  of  the  colored  population  in 
1765.* 

The  following  table  exhibits  the  number  of  colored  persons 
in  each  town  in  Massachusetts,  according  to  the  Provincial 
Census  of  1765,  and  the  several  United  States  Censuses  from 
1790  to  1860.  The  number  in  the  18  towns  above  referred  to, 
is  enclosed  in  parenthesis  : —

GENERAL  REMARKS.  335 

From  the  preceding  table  it  appears  that  in  1765,  fourteen 
towns  contained  no  colored  persons  ;  in  1790,  twenty-one  towns  ; 
in  1800,  thirty-three ;  in  1810,  forty-seven ;  in  1820,  forty- 
eight ;  in  1830,  fifty-one  ;  in  1840,  eighty-one  ;  in  1850,  ninety- 
five  ;  and  in  1860,  eighty  towns.  It  seems  from  this  that  the 
colored  population  have  gradually  become  more  concentrated 
in  certain  towns  and  localities.  Of  the  254  towns  which  con- 
tained persons  of  color  in  1860,  forty  towns  contained  but  one 
each.  Of  the  total  number  of  colored  persons,  5,544,  or  over 
57  per  cent.,  were  residents  of  the  three  counties  of  Suffolk, 
Bristol,  and  Berkshire.  Only  thirteen  towns  contained  over 
100  each.  In  1855,  sixteen  towns  contained  more  than  100 
each  ;  and  there  were  none  in  seventy-three  towns.  The  total 
colored  population  in  the  last  named  year,  was  9,906. 

Nativities  of  the  Population. 

Of  the  1,231,066  inhabitants  of  the  Commonwealth  on  the 
first  day  of  June,  1860,  970,952,  or  equal  to  78.88  per  cent., 
were  born  within  the  limits  of  the  United  States  ;  while  260,114, 
or  21.12  per  cent.,  were  born  in  foreign  countries.  Of  the 
whole  number  born  in  the  United  States,  805,546,  or  65.43  per 
cent,  of  the  total  population,  were  born  within  the  limits  of  the 
Commonwealth.  The  number  born  out  of  the  State,  but  in  the 
New  England  States,  was  134,624,  equal  to  10.93  per  cent,  of 
the  total  population.  This  gives  940,170, — or  76.36  per  cent., 
— as  the  total  number  born  in  New  England  ;  leaving  only 
30,782, — or  2.51  per  cent., — as  the  total  number  born  in  the 
other  States  or  Territories  of  the  Union. 

Of  the  260,114  persons, — or  21.12  per  cent,  of  the  whole 
population, — born  in  foreign  countries,  185,434, — or  15.06  per 
cent,  of  the  total  population, — were  natives  of  Ireland.  In  other 
words,  71.28  per  cent,  of  those  of  foreign  birth  were  born  in 
Ireland.  The  next  largest  proportion  of  those  of  foreign  birtli, 
are  natives  of  British  America,  being  27,069,  or  equal  to  2.19 
per  cent,  of  the  total  population  of  the  State.  Next  in  order  of 
numbers  are  those  born  in  England,  being  23,848, — or  1.93  per 
cent,  of  the  total  population.  It  will  thus  be  seen  that  ninety 
per  cent,  of  those  of  foreign  birth  were  born  in  either  Ireland, 
England,  or  British  America ;  leaving  but  1.94  per  cent,  as  the 
proportion  born  in  other  foreign  countries.

CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS,  1860. 


Of  the  total  number  of  persons  of  foreign  birth  in  tlie  State, 
67,261,  or  25.85  per  cent.,  were  in  the  county  of  Suffolk  ; 
502,380,  or  19.31  per  cent.,  in  the  county  of  Middlesex  ;  31,876, 
or  12.25  per  cent,,  in  the  county  of  Worcester  ;  29,494,  or  11.83 
per  cent.,  in  the  county  of  Essex  ;  and  26,257,  or  10.09  per 
cent.,  in  the  county  of  Norfolk.  The  whole  number  in  the  five 
counties  above  named,  was  205,126,  or  78.86  per  cent,  of  the 
total  number  in  the  Commonwealth. 

The  following  table  gives  the  total  number  of  persons  of 
American  and  foreign  birth,  with  the  per  cent,  of  each,  in  each 
county  of  the  Commonwealth,  as  returned  by  the  Census  of

It  appears  from  the  foregoing  table,  that  the  largest  relative 
proportion  of  persons  of  foreign  birth  is  to  be  found  in  the 
€ounty  of  Suffolk, — amounting  to  no  less  than  34.91  percent, 
of  its  total  population.  The  next  in  order,  are  Norfolk  Coun- 
ty, 23.88  per  cent.  ;  Middlesex,  23.49  per  cent. ;  Hampden, 
21.14  per  cent.  ;  Worcester,  19.96  per  cent.  ;  Essex,  17.80  [ler

cent.  ;  and  Bristol,  17.79  per  cent.  In  these  seven  counties 
the  average  proportion  of  those  born  out  of  the  United  States 
is  22.71  per  cent.  Tliis  it  will  be  seen  is  only  about  one  and  a 
half  per  cent,  above  the  average  for  the  Commonwealth,  The 
smallest  proportion  is  found  in  the  county  of  Berkshire,  being 
only  1.78  per  cent.  Next  in  the  same  order,  are  Barnstable, 
4.31;  Dukes,  4.33;  Nantucket,  4.78;  and  Franklin,  7.41  per 
cent.,  respectively.  In  tlxese  five  counties  the  average  propor- 
tion is  4.52  per  cent. 

The  percentage  of  American  born  whites  in  1850,  was  83.12, 
and  of  foreign  born,  16.60.  In  1855,  according  to  the  State 
Census,  persons  of  American  birth  composed  78.16  per  cent., 
and  foreigners  21.79  per  cent,  of  the  white  population. 

In  1855,  the  number  of  persons  of  foreign  birth  to  each  100 
persons  of  American  birth,  in  each  county  of  the  Common- 
wealth, was  as  follows  : — 


Barnstable, 
Berkshire, 
Bristol,  .

In  the  above,  and  also  in  tiie  table  next  preceding,  children 
born  in  the  United  States,  of  foreign  parents,  are  classed  as 
American.  Had  the  children  of  foreigners  been  included  with 
the  foreign  born,  the  figures  in  the  column  of  the  foreign  popu- 
lation would  have  been  much  more  imposing.  This  will  appear 
evident  from  the  following  statement : — 

The  whole  number  of  births  in  the  Commonwealth,  in  1860, 
was  35,445  ;  of  which  number  16,097  were  born  of  American 
parents;  16,125  of  foreign  parents;  1,224  of  American  father 
and  foreign  mother ;  1,258  of  foreign  father  and  American 
mother  ;  and  741  of  unknown  parentage.  In  five  counties  the 
strictly  foreign,  where  both  parents  were  foreigners,  exceeded 
the  American  births  by  3,185.  These  counties  were  Hampden, 
Middlesex,  Norfolk,  Suffolk,  and  Worcester,

Occupations.. 

In  the  United  States  Census  of  1820,  a  partial  ofTort  was 
made  to  ascertain  the  occupations  of  tlie  population.  The 
whites,  free  colored,  and  slaves,  male  and  female,  were  classed 
together,  as  actually  employed  in  commerce,  agriculture,  or  in 
manufactures,  and  as  individual  producers.  In  1840  a  second 
attempt  was  made  for  the  same  purpose,  and  the  following 
questions  were  asked  :  "  What  is  the  number  of  persons  in 
this  family  employed  in  mining  operations  ?  agriculture  ?  com- 
merce ?  manufactures  and  trades  ?  navigation  of  tlie  ocean  ? 
navigation  of  canals,  lakes,  and  rivers  ?  learned  professions, 
and  as  engineers  ?  "  In  1850  the  particular  employment  of  each 
white  and  free  colored  male,  over  fifteen  years  of  age,  was 
indicated,  and  where  the  person  followed  several  occnpations, 
the  principal  one  was  given.  In  1860  the  returns  included  the 
occupation  of  each  male  and  female  of  fifteen  years  of  age  and 
upward,  as  in  1850. 

Taldc  VII.  (Parts  I.  and  II.)  of  the  preceding  Abstract, 
exhibits  the  number  of  males  in  the  Commonwealth,  of  fifteen 
years  of  age  and  upward,  pursuing  different  occupations. 
The  list  of  occupations  in  the  table  is  an  ag-o^reg-cUion  of  those 
upon  the  original  returns,  although  special  care  has  been  taken 
to  make  the  list  more  minute  than  any  abstract  heretofore 
published. 

It  is  to  be  regretted  that  the  canvassers  did  not  use  more 
discrimination  in  recording  the  occupations  of  the  population- 
Many  mechanics,  for  example,  were  returned  as  manufacturers  ; 
peddlers,  and  jobbers,  as  merchants  ;  manufacturers,  simply  as 
mannfacturers,  without  indicating  the  particular  kind  of  manu- 
facture ;  and  mechanics,  simply  as  mechanics.  In  many 
instances,  persons  of  15  to  18  years  of  age,  who  have  no 
occupation,  are  returned  as  "  scholars."  These  are  not  in- 
cluded in  the  table.  Ijaborers  are  in  some  cases  returned  as 
farm  laborers,  and  in  others  as  day  laborers,  railroad  laborers, 
or  simply  laborers.  Farm  laborers  have  been  placed  by  them- 
selves in  the  table,  although  the  returns  are  manifestly  far  from 
complete.  For  instance,  iuFitchburg,  with  202  farms,  and  233 
farmers,  no  farm  laborers  are  returned  ;  in  New  Braintree,  with 


GENERAL  REMARKS.  339 

95  farms,  67  farm  laborers  are  returned,  while  iiv  the  adjoining 
town  of  Oakham,  with  106  farms,  none  are  returned.  Farmers' 
sons  are  in  some  cases  returned  as  "  farm  laborers,"  in  some  as 
"  laborers,"  in  others  as  "  farming,"  and  again  as  "  farmers." 
One  entire  family,  including  boys  and  girls,  afe  returned  as 
"farmers."  In  many  instances  persons  returned  as  gentlemen, 
are  evidently  those  who  have  no  visible  occupation,  or  means 
of  livelihood.  They  have  no  property,  and  many  of  them  are 
aged  men.  In  the  returns  of  the  town  of  Great  Barrington 
alone,  ten  men,  without  property,  are  returned  as  gentlemen. 
Agents,  are  in  many  instances  evidently  travelling  agents,  and 
peddlers  ;  gardeners,  in  some  cases  those  who  raise  produce  for 
market,  and  in  others,  laborers  in  the  garden.  In  many  cases, 
the  occupation  is  very  indefinitely  returned.  For  instance, 
"  paper,"  "  paper  mill,"  "  coffee,"  "  lanterns,"  "  melodeons  ;" 
which  may  mean  a  manufacturer,  a  dealer,  or  simply  a  work- 
man. The  returns  of  many  towns  contain  repeated  entries 
of  "  help,"  which  evidently  include  many  kinds  of  employ- 
ment. In  the  returns  of  Fitchburg,  Leominster,  and  Sterling, 
a  large  portion  of  the  mechanical  workers  are  entered  as 
"mechanics;"  laborers  as  "help;"  manufacturers  as  simply 
"  manufacturers  ; "  and  only  the  initials  of  names  are  given. 
In  some  cases,  only  the  initials  of  occupations  are  given  ;  thus, 
(in  Cambridge)  "  0.  B.  C,"  and  "  P.  B.  B." 

These  particulars  are  mentioned  to  show  the  difficulty  at- 
tending the  preparation  of  a  correct  abstract,  and  the  impor- 
tance of  more  care  in  the  selection  of  census  enumerators. 

Under  the  head  of  Contractors,  in  table  VII.,  are  also 
included  those  returned  as  "railroad,"  and  "stone"  con- 
tractors ;  Operatives,  includes  weavers,  spinners,  card-tenders, 
and  dressers  ;  Mariners,  includes  steamboat  hands,  whalemen, 
and  boatmen  ;  Carpenters,  includes  builders,  and  stair-builders. 
Most  of  those  entered  "  all  other  occupations,"  are  where  the 
returns  are  illegible.  Females  returned  as  farmers,  and  store- 
keepers, are  not  included  in  the  table. 

Of  the  398,753  male  persons,  in  the  Commonwealth,  of 
15  years  of  age  and  upward,  361,267,  or  90.60  per  cent.,  are 
returned  as  having  a  trade,  profession,  or  other  occupation. 

Of  the  number  returned  as  having  an  occupation,  66,045,  or 
18.29  per  cent.,  may  be  classed  as  agriculturists  ;  16,145,  or  4.46

per  cent.,  as  factory  operatives,  (exclusive  of  overseers  and 
superintendents)  ;  45,598,  or  12.62  per  cent.,  as  laborers,  (ex- 
cluding drivers,  hostlers,  jobmen,  railroad  employees,  porters, 
and  office  boys,  quarrymen,  servants,  teamsters,  and  waiters)  ; 
16,159,  or  4.47  per  cent.,  as  mariners  and  boatmen,  (excluding 
fishermen)';  4,584,  or  1.26  per  cent.,  as  manufacturers,  (ex- 
cluding agents,  overseers,  and  superintendents)  ;  139,820,  or 
38.70  per  cent.,  as  mechanics  ;  17,370,  or  4.80  per  cent.,  as 
merchants  and  traders  ;  7,358,  or  2.03  per  cent.,  as  professional 
men  ;  and  48,188  or  13.33  per  cent.,  as  miscellaneous,  or  all 
other  occupations. 

The  following  table  gives  the  number  employed  in  some  of 
the  principal  occupations  in  the  Commonwealth,  according  to

In  compai-ing  tlie  returns  of  tlie  occupations  included  in  the 
above  table  with  each  other,  for  the  several  periods,  consider- 
able allowance  should  be  made  in  some  of  the  occupations,  for 
the  unavoidable  differences  in  the  several  classifications,  or 
arrangements.  In  condensin(^  occupations  from  the  returns  of 
so  many  enumerators,  with  their  peculiar  individual  methods 
of  classification,  probably  no  two  persons  would  present  the 
same  results  in  detail.  Some  of  the  discrepancies  may  be 
accounted  for  by  the  absorption  of  minor  employments  under 
more  general  heads ;  and  others,  by  reflecting  how  many 
persons  are  returned  as  following  more  than  one  occupation.

CENSUS  OF  MASSACHUSETTS,  18G0. 


The  whole  number  of  colored  male  persons  in  the  Common- 
wealth, of  fifteen  years  of  age  and  upward,  was  3,034.  Deduct- 
ing 105  for  the  towns  not  included  in  the  above  table,  and  we 
have  2,929,  of  which  number  2,298,  or  78.44  per  cent.,  were 
returned  as  following  some  distinct  occupation.  The  most 
compact  colored  population  in  the  Commonwealth,  is  to  be 
found  in  Ward  VI.  of  the  city  of  Boston.  In  tliis  ward  there 
were  in  1860,  484  colored  male  persons  of  15  years  of  age  and 
upward,  of  whom  440,  or  90.91  per  cent.,  were  returned  as 
having  a  distinct  occupation.  It  will  be  remembered  that  of 
the  total  number  of  males  of  the  above  age  in  the  Common- 
wealth, 90.60  per  cent,  have  an  occupation.  Taking  into  con- 
sideration the  peculiar  social  position  of  the  colored  population, 
the  above  facts  are  certainly  creditable  to  them  as  a  class.  A 
comparison  of  the  character  of  the  different  occupations  in  the 
above  table,  with  those  of  table  VII.,  will  still  more  forcibly 
illustrate  this  point. 

Miscellaneous  Occupations. — A  portion  of  the  following  may 
quite  appropriately  be  termed  "  curiosities  "  of  the  Census,  and 
of  no  special  interest  otherwise,  while  others  are  of  sufficient 
interest  to  warrant  their  insertion  in  a  document  of  tliis  kind. 
Those  designated  by  the  letter  "  f."  are  females, — all  others  are 
males.
